rivenwandererI have 250ish yards of gorgeous charcoal-colored luxury(ish) merino yarn. I want to make a really awesome cowl for myself. Probably one I can snuggle my face into, because this yarn seems very smooth and lacking in those annoying tufts of fuzz that go up your nose when you snuggle it.
What shape of cowl will be best for keeping me really really warm (layering under/around my coat) in the bitter cold of Boston winters? I've made the kind that's basically a scarf with the ends sewn together, and it's OK, but a bit prone to gaps, being either too long or too short. My main other options seem to be the tube you pull over your head (longer leading to more slouchyness and the possibility of wearing it like a hood), the hipster handkerchief style (less appealing than usual since I'm in the middle of two shawls already), or the button-up style.
Anyone have reviews/feedback for cowls they've made and worn in the cold?
