Not to be Captain Obvious, but Rolando's infamous black scarf trick can be accomplished with other material.
It's not just that particular piece of fabric.
Any black net (or white for that matter) can act as a diffuser with varying degrees of effect.
I have a number of Cokin filters that have black net on them, and I have some of the white ones as well.
Black nylons, or any black sheer material will work.
The effect is compounded/lessened with the aperature you shoot at as well.
While I can appreciate that you are trying to get the "exact" same one that he uses/recomends, be a sport and try some other material.
Frankly, the two cokin filters I have produce a very similiar result even though the mesh pattern on each is significantly different.
If you can't find "the" same scarf, see if you can find something similiar and give it a try.
