I haven't made a full-scale project with cables yet (only hats).
I bought 12 balls Schachenmayr Scaletta col.0083 from elann in 2005 on impulse w/o project in mind. It's kind of a ladder yarn. It's a nontraditional choice for an Aran-style sweater, but I think it looks good in cables. (please click picture to see detail)
I'm doing a self-designed peasant-sleeve top down sweater with saddle shoulders. I'm 20+ rows into the front. The center cable is "Aran Diamond and Bobble" BWIIp.186, modified by working garter st, not seed st, in large diamond. Next one out is "Little Plait" BWIp.245, and the outer panel is two 8st cables crossed every 16th row with bobble on 8th row, worked at half-drop. (I saw this cable in a Lion Brand pattern in a mag., don't remember which one.)
