Just a reminder... Autumn colors include chocolate brown and deep jewel-tone blues, plus the camel-khaki-tan-mushroom family of neutrals. We don't necessarily have to be limited, yanno?

The difference between Autumn tones and say, Winter tones, is that Autumn colors are very warm--even the blues--and Winter colors are very pure (including all the icy blues).

So what fibers do people have in mind? Like Nick, I would prefer to work in wool, but I know everyone can't necessarily afford that. I think we have to consider shrinkage and washability of the finished blankets... if we use too many different fibers, they may shrink at different rates.
