Knitting a blanket.

[jackandahat]

This is one of those things where I've done plenty of googling, but I'd like "real people's suggestions" to go with gathered information.

So, for those of you who've knitted a blanket (I'm most likely going with a variation on Moderne Log Cabin Blanket) - what kind of yarn did you use? Given my local knitting shop runs heavy to acrylic and baby-pastels, it seems likely I'll have to order some, so I'm looking for solid advice before I get out the debit card.

I'll also put in my vote for Cascade 220 and 220 Superwash. You might want to also consider Cascade Yarns Eco Wool. Lots of yardage for a reasonable price.

I bought two skeins a couple of days ago because I'm making the Stashbuster Blanket from Stitch Diva and wanted some bulky yarn to go with the worsted yarn coming out of my stash.

Thank you.
