In China they sell rolls of super bulky yarn. Trying to make a stockinette, garter, or ribbed scarf out of it creates a fabric that is very stiff almost rug like. To knit a scarf with some flexibility, knitting an open mesh is the best way. This scarf was inspired by all those drop stitch scarves out there.
