Need HELP!

Ok I want ot knit Rouge sweater (want to knit bad, dreaming about it). I was all set to use Cascade Eco wool but I live in South Florida and heard the Eco Wool is super hot. What to use???? Any ideas? Tell me brands and names so I can look (yarn fantasy shopping).

Since it doesn't say specifically Eco-Wool, I would try a cotton wool blend like Knit Picks Mainline, O-wool Balance or Cascade Sierra. If you can afford it (I know I can't) Rowan Calmer is also a good idea. It's cotton and microfiber, structured to be more elastic than typical cotton.

I hope that helps.
