Hey everyone,
So I went to Purl (http://www.purlsoho.com/purl) last week, and fondled the most scrumptious scarf ever on display. I decided I must have it, and was so ready to buy the yarn for it, but it turns out that it was knit with 3 skeins of 100% cashmere yarn. Which I can't really afford. So, I was thinking of substituting with Knit Picks Panache (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/itemid_5420137/yarn_display.aspx). So those who have worked with it before, can you tell me your opinion on it? Is it really soft? I do love baby alpaca and merino yarns, so I'm sure I would like the Panache too. I was also initially considering Ambrosia (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/itemid_5420136/yarn_display.aspx), but probably won't use it since it's sport weight and also doesn't come in a natural/cream color.
Thanks in advance!
