"Hi, my name is Elissa with ExpertVillage.com and today I'm going to show you how to crochet a scarf. The most common type of yarn for crocheting scarves is going to be an acrylic yarn. And, this is going to typically be a thick yarn which is great for beginners because it's easier to see where you're stitches are and it's usually the least expensive as well. And, if you look on your label, it will be on different spots on different labesl, it'll show you what size needles to use. This one says use a six and one half millimeter needle which is going to be a pretty wide needle, which is also why it's great for beginners. So, if you're a beginner crocheter I would suggest using this kind of acrylic yarn."
