ghoti_mhic_uaitI want to make a cardi for a costume, Sarah Zellaby from Seanan McGuire's Incryptid (my first, so I'm a bit dithery). I checked with McGuire when she had an Ask Me Anything, and she approved the pattern. In Midnight Blue Line Special, Sarah wears a green skirt, similar to one I already have, and a brown cardigan, similar to Froufrou from the Happy Hooker. Here's the exchange:

Now, I'm looking at yarn choices, and I think my best choices are either Vanna's Choice, which is the practical choice and comes in the colour I was initially thinking of, or http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/yarn.php?id=104 Drops Alpaca Silk which is 77% alpaca, 23% silk and on sale. The only downside is, it doesn't really have a brown.
Which would you go for? I'm leaning Alpaca Silk, either beige as close enough or violet as similar to the author-approved photo.
