Yarn

I choose Premier Spun Colors Yarn in Iris. I love the pretty colors in this variegated yarn. The scarf only takes one cake of this yarn.

If this is your first project, you might want to choose a different yarn that is smoother. This yarn is a roving style and it is not easy to take out if you make a mistake.

I making a hat using the same type of yarn in a different color, Poppy.

The yarn comes in lots of colors. If you love variegated colors of yarn, this yarn is for you. It has short color changes to make a lovely mix up colors.

Premier Spun Colors Yarn is 65% Acrylic & 35% Fine Superwash Merino. You will need to handwash your scarf and lay it out to dry.

A crochet scarf would make a great gift too. You can choose a color to go with their style or a neutral that would work for anyone. They are practical too.
