Yarn Requirements: The pattern calls for Atelier Yarn Stravaig DK, a luxurious blend of 75% Merino Wool and 25% Nylon, which provides incredible softness and durability.

While gauge is not strictly crucial for this project, variations in gauge may affect the final size, drape, and yarn requirement of your cowl.
