The difference between Autumn tones and say, Winter tones, is that Autumn colors are very warm--even the blues--and Winter colors are very pure (including all the icy blues).
So what fibers do people have in mind? Like Nick, I would prefer to work in wool, but I know everyone can't necessarily afford that. I think we have to consider shrinkage and washability of the finished blankets... if we use too many different fibers, they may shrink at different rates.

I'd like to have a set group of colors just so we can all stay within the same range. No more than 7-9 choices. Can you come up with a list and some pictures for reference? This is sooo not my strong suit!
I can not afford wool plus I'm allergic to it. I break out if it is against my skin.
I'd like to (for the sake of cost) stick to acrylic/cotton/blends. I found one wool yarn that didn't make me break out as badly. LOL
