This Yarn Bee Diva Sequin yarn is mostly acrylic, with a little bit of wool (12%), and lots of pretty sequins. It comes in 3.5 ounce rolls and runs about $8 each. I usually do not spend this much on yarn because my kids are the recipients of many of my projects and I know they just wouldn’t appreciate it the way I do.

Caron Simply Soft is a great substitute for what I used and comes in a larger roll for less money. (see photo on my blog)

Another great substitute is Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable. It comes in 3.5 ounces and is about $5 a roll. This is great for those with animal fiber allergies since it is 100% acrylic.

My scarf is 5 “shells” wide and 6 feet long. I used about one and a half rolls. My daughter’s scarf is 4 “shells” wide and not nearly as long, requiring less material. If you want the narrower version like my daughter, you should be able to get by on just using one 3.5 ounce roll of yarn for this project. If you want it wider like mine, then make sure you grab two rolls and be sure to check lot numbers!
