I understand you perfectly: the wool is amazing. I naturally would knit a sweater with it :-DDDD But if I am honest your decision is much more sensible. Soft wool should be at our delicate necks :-D And amazingly the colours are exactly like the Monarch butterfly. I remember a ravelry project with a crochet sweater with a big monarch butterfly, this would be perfect for your friend:

I have no idea what MisCon is and will research it later... I hope you get a bit of spare time for knitting and relaxing.
