Repeat Start from *** again until you have used half of MC. (I recommend that you use a scale to monitor this. Cut CC and rejoin second ball of CC at same color that just ended. This will allow you to use almost every bit of the MC up.
Use 1X1 tubular bind off to finish scarf or preferred method if tubular cast on was not used.
