Flounce is a ruffle style yarn that has many brand names such as Sachet, Pirouette, Starbella, Rozetti Flora, Ruffles and many others.
Ruffle yarns are much like ribbon yarns. The width of the yarn is stretched apart that usually reveals a mesh like appearance. Depending of the brand, it may also appear like a railroad track. One side of the yarn has a band while the other side is made up of loops. One works the loop edge of the yarn while the band edge creates the decorative edge.
For beginners, a good recommendation is to use a larger sized hook such as a K in order to see the stitches more clearly. Otherwise, the actual hook size does not make any difference in the size of the finished project. Once the technique is easily learned, it is left to the handicrafter's imagination as to the diversity of projects that can be made.
Crocheting or knitting with ruffled yarn much easier to learn by watching rather that by a written description. The following two videos are excellent for crocheters. Each one shows a different technique to make a scarf. If, in the future, these links are broken, one will find many other online videos for both crocheters and knitters by using a search engine such as Google or Bing.
