After Christmas, I want to start on a cardigan for DH. I've got a pattern. It's a st.st. V-neck with a band of a coloured pattern round it - not strictly fairisle but that sort of thing, and I want a lightweight DK yarn to do it in as it's for summer. I had in mind a cotton or cotton mix but all those sort of yarns don't seem to be in 'men' colours.

It needs to be a reasonable price too as I'll need quite a bit of it.

Any ideas anyone?

There's a bamboo blend out there that might work well... Check this out... http://www.yarndex.com/yarn.cfm?yarn_id=3795

I'm planning ahead. It'll probably take me about 6 months to do Laughing

GA: Thanks those are just the right sort of colours.
