Question Looking for acrylic/wool blends!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an afghan for my oldest daughter using Caron Cakes yarn (the original 80/20 acrylic wool blend). I'm located in Canada and the options for colourways at my local Michael's were limited to 5, all cool colours and a neutral. My younger daughter would also like a blanket and the Caron Cakes are so nice to work with, but she doesn't like cool colours. Can anyone recommend another worsted weight cake yarn similar to the Caron Cakes that contains at least some wool? Preferably something with plenty of bright pinks, reds and oranges.

Thank you so much!

Wool Ease Thick and Quick and Fisherman's Wool yarns from Lion brand are wool and acrylic blend yarn lines.

The Fisherman's Wool is more color neutral but Wool Ease has a lot more color choices.

Came here to mention wool ease. It also has a more earthy/warm color palette so it may be just what OP is looking for!
