The yarn that I used to create these (as with all knitting projects) is not required. I do enjoy the way the self striping yarn creates the dimensions, depth of color and architecture. However this does not mean that hand-dyes or your favorite basic color will not do the same for you. It is a scarf for the love of Pete, so whichever feels the best to you is the best one to use!

Also if your wanting to use a heavier weight yarn simply increase the needle size to that of the recommended size for the yarn. Take the gauge I have and figure how many stitches you would need to cast on for the width you are looking for. (As for yardage…. just be sure you have plenty ;)

I can be reached at anytime via my email address Dmk4knits@gmail.com. I will have my website as well as Facebook pages up running soon. So I look forward to seeing you there and chatting live in regards to any questions.
And while I’m pretty spiffy with some sticks and fiber, other social media platforms I will be getting training sessions from my children soon, as soon as I know more than just how to spell them, I’ll let you know!

Happy Knitting!!
