According to this description, you can knit a shawl with any threads of any size. Even a beginner can handle that. It is enough to be able to cast on (in any way), make knit stitches, make treble crochet, knit 2 stitches together (in any way) and finish the row.
You can take a thin thread of mohair or goat floss and get a light, airy, fluffy shawl. Or you can get a volume wool or acrylic, and you will knit large and volume shawl quickly. Or you can take cotton and knit a small bacchus. It all depends on your desire and patience.
