Artlady, have you compared the Cascade peruvian wool with the worsted weight peruvian that KP's has? Are they similiar? I think KP's would cost less, but was wondering if the quality and appearance were different.

Also, where can I get a pattern for the CPH? I want to make this sometime in my near future, but I've been concerned also about the zipper. I have been a seamstress for 40+ years and finding zippers that blend has been a big problem from time to time. I would not want one that didn't blend well with the yarn. Have you found that to be a problem? It would be great if the yarn companies carried a line of zippers to match their yarns. Now there's an idea!
