How many times have you loved a yarn in the skein, but could not find the right stitch to show it off properly? One of the best things about broomstick lace is that it leaves lengths of yarn unworked, so you can show off your special yarns in all their glory.

The basic pattern for this scarf is simple. The fun part is in choosing yarns. While it is best to use yarns of similar gauge, you can double or triple and combine yarns of different gauges. But the best part is that the front and back of the scarf can look very different from each other, though each will look polished and finished.
