Howdy.
I’m getting ready to make a special binary scarf with LEDs in it for a friend.
Do I need to insulate the conductive yarn at all?
Pointers on connecting my LEDs into the conductive yarn?
Also, how do I determine the overall power need for the scarf?
Thanks.

you only need to insulate the separate leads from one another so that they can not touch and short circuit.
depending on the strength of the conductive yarn you could either use it to sew to the LEDs directly or use some conductive thread. curl the legs of the LED into circles so that you can sew to them.
the power is determined by the LED. most LEDs have a 2-3V drop, so 3V should be perfect, considering the resistance of the yarn. you want to connect the LEDs in parallel.
Fabulous. Thanks so much.
