I love variegated yarns and I just keep buying them, even though I often end up liking them much more as hanks than as FOs because of bad pooling. I try to go for either extremely short color runs or very long ones to avoid the issue, but sometimes I fall in love with something I know has the potential to go so wrong once knitted. I use planned pooling for these, but it's impossible to create a consistent pattern if there's any shaping and I'm just not a garter stitch scarf person.
So, when I really, truly love a yarn but can't seem to make anything nice, I knit a solid square/rectangle and put it in a shadow box. I know it sounds crazy, but it makes amazing art. It looks really cool if you knit a bunch of dishcloth-sized squares in different stitches and get some small shadow boxes like these. You can make the knitting the same size as the frame, slightly smaller (with a matted background), or you can fold or crumple the knitting if you want additional texture. Then, you can either hang them individually or in a cluster, OR you can nail the frames together to make a big piece of wall art. It's also the coolest headboard ever, if you're into DIY stuff.
