Really neat piece of fabric

Look at this fun fabric I purchased from Ebay!

I was actually searching for fabric for a specific project ... and ran into this.  I had to order some.  It's 100% wool and from Korea.

I love how nubbly it is.

When I saw it online, I thought I could make some kind of coat or jacket, but I didn't realize until it arrived that it is a knit.  See the photo of the back side..I guess that doesn't really matter, but I'm thinking something more like a sweater or sweatshirt now.

I'm taking suggestions ...please, if anyone has a good idea, please chime in.

I think the fabric would be cute as one of those headband ear warmers. Gloves and scarves would be cute also! Especially the trendy infinity scarves.

I think this would be lovely as a cardigan. It might work as one of the "waterfall" front, if it has enough drape. Very fun!

I think it would make a nice body-skimming long or three-quarter sleeved shift dress with a bit of a standup mock-turtleneck collar. The fabric has so much going on, I'd opt for a simple shape.

My brain goes to a shrug to pair with a simple shift of fit-and-flare shape in a cute border fabric, like this: https://www.fabric.com/buy/0302694/effervescence-single-border-mod-bubbles-ebony, or a holiday-themed one like this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=175501&sid=31U9Hz3CtMNI4Uf-13113165916.fb, or even this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=176703&sid=31U9Hz3CtMNI4Uf-31113041116.ec

I think it would be a cute loose baggy jacket like you see in vogue pattern books. .
