However in some cases it does look really nice. Questions you need to answer. How close do you want someone standing next to you to realize you have knit a beautiful sweater? If you want them to see it a mile away then yes switch colors, if you want sublty then do it in black. Most of the dark yarns I have I don’t use for cables I like using them for background in color work. But, that’s just my preference.

Interestingly, I have been eyeing some of that crochet cotton in Granny’s shop and in my mother’s stash. It does have a nice look to it. And yours really looks terrific.

I steared away (and may regret) from the cotton though and got a merino/acrylic blend. We’ll see how it works and I can’t wait to see yours progress
