I was expecting the yarn string to be thicker, but it wasn't (have worked with yarns ranked medium in weight and this is thinner). If you are loom knitting and want a thick scarf, this is not the yarn for you. If you want a shorter scarf, I would stop about halfway into the ball of yarn.  With one ball of this yarn, I was able to get 2 long and drape-like scarves (or 1 super-duper long scarf).
