YARN For this scarf you will need approx. 440 (550) meter 481 (601) yards of a worsted weight yarn. I used a fluffy yarn with merino fibers blown into a mesh tube. It is important to choose an extra soft yarn since you are going to wear the scar close to your neck. I recommend 200 (250) g Snefnug from CaMa Rose (50 g = 110 m 120 yards) Ore 200 (250) g Eco Soft from Isager (50 g = 125 g 136 yards)
