As this cowl is made with measurements, you can use any hook and any yarn you prefer.

However, the hook you use should be 2 sizes bigger than the hook you normally use with the yarn you choose. It has to be loose. If the cowl is too stiff it will not be comfortable to wear.

I normally use the 5mm with Drops Nepal, but for this cowl I used the 7mm.
