Yarn in sample: Woolyimpi, Navajo Plyed Handspun Green; 62m per 106g skein, http://www.etsy.com/shop/woolyimpi

A great substitute is 1 skein of Malabrigo Chunky.

This soft and cosy cowl was made in only a couple of hours. The stand-out feature has to be the yarn. It’s a handspun bulky yarn that has been navajo plyed. This technique of plying creates a gradient yarn allowing for pretty colour changes with only one skein of yarn.
