Bramble throw

Working on a shockingly yellow bramble stitch throw.  Some friend gave me two balls of Lion Brand sportweight Woole Ease wool/acrylic blend a million years ago, and I decided to finally use it.  Unfortunately Lion Brand no longer manufactures Wool Ease in sportweight, so I'm left to find some substitute for the rest of the blanket.  I find that people must be increasingly lazy as worsted and chunky weights are more common that the much nicer sportweights, DKs, and fingering weight yarns that make a better fabric.  I'm hoping that I find a comparable yarn in yellow and medium green so that I can temper the slightly garish hue of the original yarn.  Pattern and picture to come.
