Any yarn at these weights will work provided you can match gauge. Follow the care instructions indicated with your yarn.
A Note on Yardage: This is a two color cowl, though by continuing to repeat the pattern at the color change, it could be as many colors and as tall as you wish. This will change yardage requirements. A small amount of excess yardage has already been calculated for you.
