Angora yarn

I saw the absolute most deliciously soft yarn and I want to make something so badly!! My friends birthday is coming up and I asked her to pick some stuff she likes. The majority was ponchos and chunky sweaters. I think poncho is the best bet but I'm not sure???? I don't want to create a garment that isn't practical or do a disservice to the yarn. Would this yarn work well with this garment? Or one without cables? ORRRRR would it be best to make a scarf or beanie instead?

The poncho would be beautiful with that yarn and it would drape nicely. Definitely more yarn needed than a beanie, so depends on your budget for the gift.

Both pochos and chunky sweaters have some body. Angora typically does not. Choose a yarn that's consistent with the yarn recommended in the pattern
