Question on blocking Wendy Fusion?

I have used some leftovers to make a one row scarf, but it's 44" long - not much "pokage" (to steal a term) Laughing

Would blocking help to stretch this? It's quite soft and loose, but doesn't show much holes in the fabric IYKWIM.

I'd like it to be 6-8 inches longer.  Confused

Thank you in advance - I know someone will know!!

What colour Fusion is it? I have two odd balls, one in browny shades and one in pinky - have no plans for them, they were just impulse buys for possible Chrimble presents Wink

Thanks Franney, but it's deep burgundy / purple / red.  I just wondered if it would stretch, then hold it's shape/size Confused  

It's only leftover yarn, so it will do for me if it's not long enough for a gift. And, of course, it doesn't have to be worn doubled over & pulled through.

No worries, i can't help re the blocking i'm afraid cos i've not knitted with it before Confused

It's a high wool content though isn't it? So theoretically stretching it longer should work, it should only shrink back when it's washed Confused
