How do you choose a yarn?

[Carrie218]

I'm addicted to knitting cabled sweaters with the various tweed yarns that are out there. This is one I recently finished -- sorry it is blurry, but if I shoot the picture with a flash, the cables disappear! But I love the affect of the occasional speck of another color and the rusticness of the yarn.

That's a beautiful sweater! I like plainer yarns for cable patterns,myself, but that scarf that Mason is doing is gorgeous. I gotta get me some of that yarn. Subtle colour changes like that one has don't seem to hide the cables. samm
