Yes, you can switch to a different yarn brand, even a different fiber if you prefer.
I recommend this yarn: Lion Brand Hue and Me Yarn but you can also use another bulky yarn.
You can find all of Lion Brand’s Bulky yarn selections here.
But it’s an ideal project as a yarn stash buster. Use leftover yarn if you have any. I would recommend sticking with either of my above recommendations.

If you pick 3 different colors, you may pick some of these options:
