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.
