That's great fabric. I'm sure this has a very reasonable

assigning my brooms to new uses?

Perhaps it's a US thing, but see here:

It's a skirt, usually quite full at the hem, usually of a gauzy

Not sure why that became known as "broomstick", seems to me that
"broom" would more closely describe the effect. <shrug>
