My first piece for a regional A&S was from Paternyan yarn. It was three-strand and I separated out the strands. There was a lot of fuzzing, but it wasn't too much to keep under control. Now if you make a mistake with it, it's a devil to undo - but otherwise not too bad. It was definitely a learning experience - I think something more tightly spun would probably work much better. As for patterns, I think that the ram's horn and also Guntram's Blue Eternity are really fun. The Blue Eternity pattern comes in several different widths so if you want to use more cards you can.
