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've not heard of them - I don't have any experience ordering online. So it's good to have the recs to look into, thank you.

AH! Well, they're British. So the prices shouldn't make you sob quite as loudly as they make Yanks sob.

And another delicious British store is The Yarn Yard, but her website isn't awesome. Her yarn, however, is. I've actually imported it because it's that nice.

I'll have to sit down and have a look through all these, thank you.
