They even have the other colors on sale (although a bit more money than the natural).
mission falls 1824 cotton would be lighter weight but it has the same issue – no stretch.

I see the pattern recommends a wool yarn with some inherent elasticity, and says that a yarn with less stretch (such as 70/30 wool silk) will be drapier with less pronounced cables. This Tahki New Tweed is worsted weight, 70 wool, 15 silk, 11 cotton and 4 viscose, without much stretch. The gauge is 4 st = 1″ on size 8 needles. It has a soft rather than a crisp finish. I would wear this yarn outside down into the 50s, but I honestly don’t think it’s quite right for this pattern.
