The official Indiana colors for 2024-25 come from the Red Heart brand, though you are free to use whatever brand you choose:

  • Hot Red (1502012)

Yarn colors are available through Michaels, Joann Fabrics, Walmart and Amazon.

We recommend scarves be a 6-inch width and 54-60 inches, including fringe, in length. We have no pattern requirements.

We thank all our scarf makers, many of whom have been with us from the beginning in 2009. So many wonderful people for so many wonderful years!
