nephew sweater take ii

Well, I like the blue sleeve, but I don't like the yarn--it's not soft enough. So I did some searching and found a bulky-weight yarn by Crystal Palace called Iceland that's described as "very soft" and looks like it's lopi-spun.

Trouble is it doesn't come in the right shade of blue. Indigo and Marine are too dark; Dutch Blue isn't dark enough. So I'm considering Teal Lake (which is turquoise). It might work. It would be a different look--less somber, brighter, more energetic. Two skeins should do it, I think.
