Mixing yarns in a sweater

[ScandaKnitvian]

I'm wanting to knit a raglan sweater with a striped body and solid sleeves. I have some yummy Artyarns Supermerino, but I don't have enough for a sweater and I can't find all the colors I want in that brand. Can I mix it with, say, Cascade 220 Superwash (so both yarns will be washable)? Both are worsted weight; I'm hoping they will knit up to the same gauge. I don't have any Cascade 220 Superwash yet, but it comes in LOTS of colors.

Thanks!

As long as they knit up for you at the same gauge, I don't see a problem. I think I'd make two separate swatches and wash them, since in my experience some superwash wool stretches and some doesn't--so rather than have a nasty surprise later on, check now.
