Not sure what to do with this yarn

I have several skeins of this yarn called Sensations Bellezza Collection Margherita. It is 69%nylon and 31% acrylic. Seems very lightweight and i'm not sure what 13sts on size 11 needles means as far as what type of pattern I should be looking for. If anyone has any idea it would be appreciated. I will be glad to give more details if needed. Thanks.

The 13 sts on size 11 needles is the gauge - 13 sts/4" on size 11s which also says this is a bulky weight yarn. You can do a hat and scarf or mittens with it, possibly a small shrug/bolero type sweater.

Thanks for letting me know what weight it is. I was very surprised because I did try to use it to knit a baby sweater and the pieces were so light that I didn't think it would be bulky. I guess I thought bulky was heavy. Well i'm off to find a bulky hat/mitten/scarf pattern for my kids. Thank you again.

No bulky is thick, not heavy in weight necessarily.
