How to choose yarn for your cowl
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing yarn for your stranded colourwork project, but there are some key guidelines that are helpful to bear in mind. Whether you're shopping your stash or picking up some pretty new skeins, Lisa is here to walk you through the best options for your colourwork cowl.
The Snug and Slouchy patterns both call for aran or worsted weight yarn and we recommend picking up 100g or approx 200m of each shade to ensure you have plenty for your chosen project.

Let's talk needles
Needle size: The Snug and the Slouchy Cowls both suggest 4.5mm and 5mm circular needles but remember your gauge may vary.
Needle length: a 40cm cable length is required for the Snug Cowl, and a 40cm - 60cm cable length can be used for the Slouchy Cowl.
Knitting in the round: The cowls are both knitted in the round so you will need to be familiar with this technique - or adventurous and happy to try it.

Why are we working in the round?
Glad you asked! There are a few reasons -
- The knit stitch - all the way! Knitting stockinette in the round has the great advantage of only needing one type of stitch: the knit stitch. This lets you focus all your attention on the new techniques covered in the FAL, without the need to negotiate floats on the reverse of your work.
- Visibility. When working in the round you are always looking at the right side (or public side) of your project. This makes the process of following a knitted chart far easier and should result in fewer diversions for fixing mistakes along with way.
