Thank you all so much for your help with my
scarf yarn question. I didn't expect to get so many replies, and they were all so, so helpful. You guys are awesome. :)
I went to Jo-Ann's a couple of days ago, having decided to get the Caron Simply Soft, and I immediately fell in love with it when I saw (and felt) it. It really is the perfect blue color. Unfortunately, though, while there was a really great grey color, I couldn't find anything anywhere near bronze in that brand - or even in any other brands with a similar size strand and texture.
However, someone had also suggested Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice, and the store had plenty of that, so I dug around a bit, and found a color called "honey," which was what had been originally suggested. There was also a good blue ("navy") to go along with it. It's not as nice or soft as the Simply Soft, but it's not scratchy at all, and it's been knitting up beautifully. Oh, and can I just say that I'm loving knitting with circular needles? I've never tried it before, and I was scared to do so, but it's so much easier than I imagined.
If I ever try this project again, though (maybe movie!Ravenclaw?), I'll definitely go for the Simply Soft, or splurge on the really nice online stuff (Knitpicks, maybe?).
Anyway, thanks again for all the help. :)
Here's what I've got so far. The bronze looks a little more yellow in the picture than it actually is.
