Cascade 220 vs Ultra Alpaca
Ok- I'm thinking of making the Rogue sweater found here: http://www.girlfromauntie.com/patter...gue/detail.php

I'm stuck on my yarn choice... I'm making another pattern in Berroco Ultra Alpaca and I absolutely love the feel of it. However, I'm thinking there just isn't a color I quite like, so I was thinking of going with cascade. I've used cascade for felting, but I'm not sure how it would feel for a pullover sweater. I would nearly always have at least a tshirt or somethin underneath, so I'm just wondering if it's relatively soft for a sweater? I have a few balls of it at home and it seems to feel fine. Just figured I would ask....

Also, if I go the cascade route, I can go buy it tomorrow cuz I have enough $$, if I go with alpaca I would have to wait another payday
