yarn recommendation please

[meg]

Hi all - I am taking a class on how to design clothing to body types. I designed a sweater and I’m going to learn how to write the pattern for it - yada, yada, yada… ok, so here is my question…….


I don’t know how much yarn I will need as of yet, but I want to start the search so I know where to buy when the time comes. It will be a 3/4 sleeve with a full collar, wrap around. Alot of linen stitch. I want a bright yarn, preferably hand spun and full of life. b/c the stitches aren’t patterned, I would like the yarn to give it breathe!


Any suggestions?
Cheers! Meg
