This Boho Cowl is great as a stash buster. It uses bulky to super bulky yarn but you can use multiple strands of any yarn to get the bulkiness that you desire. There's no gauge because it goes by measurements that work for each person. You can pick your own colors. You can go with a color range of matching or "like" colors or you can go with differing colorways to give a more "boho" look.
