Don't know if this would be an okay color. Probably the lightest, though.
Thanks for this....now I just remembered a Canadian firm in southeastern British Columbia: http://www.kootenayknitting.com/index.php Their merino wool & acrylic combo seems to be 50/50 or 70/30.

Still looks a bit thin, wool wise .. I love some of the designs. Last year we were ....80 km. west of there on vacation during the winter.
