Yarn Alternatives
You can use any 4ply weight yarn of a similar yardage for this design. A yarn that does not have a lot of stretch will give the best result, especially for the strap. The whole bow tie uses 22g. To use a special mini skein, you could use an alternative yarn for the strap to ensure that you have enough yarn, or stashbust using as many colours as you like.
