Last year I made a 'fun' scarf for my Mother, using a combination of lovely textured yarn and a novelty yarn. These interesting yarns made a large impact in past years, although you see less of them around these days. That said, an accent yarn used judiciously can create an impactful wearable art piece. My Mother and I were driving south to a Carolina beach vacation, and twice, when we were at stops en route, she received offers to sell the scarf on the spot!
