I have always loved Wool Ease. It is very soft without being too fluffy. The twist is good so it is easy to work with. Wood used to be a standard color but is apparently discontinued. I already had some and started the project before I realized that. It is machine wash and dry so it is easy care. It holds its shape so there is no need to block. I just recommend putting your project in a sweater bag to wash. It is also colorfast.
