One of the questions I receive most frequently is if I can recommend a good substitute yarn for Cerus, as the Rowan Tapestry I call for (and knit the original in) has sadly been discontinued.
What I'd really like to do is test out some yarns myself and reknit a sample, but for lack of time, I thought I'd pick out a few of my favorites from Ravelry so you can see several different options. Unfortunately, nothing looks exactly like the Tapestry, but folks have done some really neat things that I hope you find inspiring! If you see something you like, I encourage you to look at the linked Ravelry project notes to see if the knitter cast on more/fewer stitches, used different needles, etc. Phootsy used Plymouth Yarn Mushishi, a wool and silk blend.
The long color changes and neutral tones remind me very much of the original Tapestry. Chris used Noro Silk Garden , which I've been recommending to people quite a bit as a substitute though it will result in a slightly fuzzier scarf. A Fistful of Stitches: The Go To Scarf.

Since most of my friends knit and most of my family have received their fair share of handknit gifts, J-La and I decided to make a different kind of gift this year (spoiler alert: don't click that link if you think you're gonna get a gift from me this year and want to keep it a surprise). But there are still a handful of folks who will get a handknit and this is my go-to scarf for gifting.
