Definitely has sproing and you can’t beat Rowan’s palette.

I also looked into Dale Svale. Cotton, viscose and silk in good colors.
I like them both because they had nice color pallettes.

A friend alerted me to a new WEBS offering that looks promising too — and far less expensive. It’s called Longmeadow (http://www.yarn.com/yarns-knitting/valleyYarns-longmeadow.html). Who knows, may be worth a try. I’m also curious to try GGH’s Aran and worsted weight cotton microfiber blends (Samoa and Bali).

Debbie Bliss Cathay is also a beautiful yarn with very defined stitch.
Looking forward to hearing more…

(although I must admit that I find it rather warm to wear, but I’m always hot when other people are not)
