One of my least favorite words in the English language is "dated." I tend to cringe when I hear quilters talking about dated fabric and yarn. And then there's this...
I think it's more estate sale leftovers from Grandma, but I also have a very vague memory of very cheap yarn. So I might've bought these five skeins of 70s era avocado green myself. If I was being honest with myself a few years back, I would have let this stuff go because it's a bunch of mismatched acrylic in unattractive shades of green.
But time passes and fads come and go and I know exactly what to knit with this. The colors are just right.
Any guesses?

Socks???
I can so relate to this. I too have a collection of "vintage" yarn. Cuter than old, waiting for a project. Look forward o see what you choose.
Perhaps the camera perspective is off, but it looks a little heavy for socks ... I know you'll do something great with it, though.
I've done socks with worsted weight acrylic, but this stuff is a little too creaky for that.
Elf slippers?
It looks like an animal of some kind -- frogs, alligators or perhaps some stocking caps?
