Noro Taiyo
40% Cotton, 30% Silk, 15% Nylon, 15% Wool and Plymouth Kudo,
55% Cotton, 40% Rayon, 5% Silk. Since none of this is wool, I will say that this fabric is not as warm, which may or may not be a good thing. It drapes quite nicely, but grows a bit with wearing. I used the same pattern as I do with the wools and the results were much longer in the body, which covers the butt nicely. ha!
Plymouth Kudo,
55% Cotton, 40% Rayon, 5% Silk and
Tupa
by Mirasol Yarn 50% Silk, 50% Merino (that's the green). I think this will have the same growing longer results as the one above, even tho the green is half wool.
Plymouth Boku
95% Wool, 5% Silk, Creative Focus Superwash
by Nashua Handknits 50% Wool, 50% Merino. This combo will be soft and washable and have a lot of spring.
Paint Box by Knit One, Crochet Too, 100% Wool, Sensational by FibraNatura,100% superwash Merino. I used Paint box and another merino in pink for this jacket:
Below:
Lion Brand Amazing, 53% Wool, 47% Acrylic, Cascade Pastaza, 50% llama, 50% wool.
A different colorway of Amazing, and the combo color was dark teal , but anyway, Amazing changes colors nicely and makes the background color look more interesting.
The same Lion Brand Amazing with the same purple Fibranatura Sensational 100% superwash merino.
Vega, multicolored 100% wool with orange Merino Sport 100% merino.
The Vega could be used alone and make a wonderful jacket or made more orange with the inclusion of the Merino Sport.
Is this all confusing enough? Let me know which combo appeals to you,
