Well, now, wool stretches, but also it springs back.
I will better know what sort of yarn we're looking at once I have a book in hand, and know what weight they want.
Are there animal fibers that you know you're okay with? Animal fibers tend to be more forgiving and otherwise appropriate for cold-weather gear then plant ones, y'see.
For example, if the issue is the scales on the fiber, then a superwash wool might be okay. However, if it's an issue with the protein structure, that's a different issue.
