Choosing Yarn for a Crochet Mobius Wrap
When it comes to selecting the perfect yarn for the Xcapade Mobius Wrap, there are lots of options. The original crochet wrap was made with Patons Classic Wool Bulky, which has been replaced with Patons Classic Wool Roving.
In having attending the infamous Spinrite Tent Sale one year, I was able to purchase amazing yarns in bundles at great prices. I enjoyed the plied twist of the Patons Classic Wool Bulky, but it was only available in a 100 gram skein of 78 yards. With under a 100 yds, it does mean more ends to weave in for a project larger than hat. Luckily, the new Roving is the same weight but comes in a generous 120 yards per 100 gram skein.

If you’re not a fan of the single strand of a roving yarn, there are a few alternative yarn listed below in the Materials section. Also, if you’re not a fan of 100% wool, aim to find a bulky weight yarn that is soft and does not have too many plies. In a sense, fewer plies twisted together creates more air between the strands, enhances the squishiness and overall look and drape of the crochet fabric.
It’s a bonus that this crochet mobius wrap will work up so quickly in a bulky weight yarn and large crochet hook. Bulky yarns are ideal for projects like this because they give the stitches more definition, allowing the x-stitch and treble stitch to really pop and add dimension to your crochet mobius shawl. Plus, the heavier weight provides warmth without being overly heavy or stiff, giving the wrap a soft, luxurious drape that feels as amazing as it looks. Whether you’re new to crocheting with bulky yarn or it’s already a go-to in your stash, you’ll love how quickly this crochet wrap comes together a polished, fall look!
Accessorize Your Crochet Mobius Wrap
With the remaining yarn after making the wrap, making a matching, cute crochet ear warmer. This is a fun way to practice the stitches if you’re new to the x-stitch whether you make the adult, teen or child size.

- The height can be adjusted by adding or subtracting rounds.
