Okay, so I haven't done much research on what might be available in the type of yarn I think I want, BUT... Does anyone know of a good yarn that's a cotton/acrylic blend, and sport or dk weight? I probably want a dark green, but if I find a yarn I like where that's not an option, I may change my mind on color. Whee!

e, planning way too many new projects.

i know it's not cotton and acrylic, but i ADORE the debbie bliss wool cotton. it's really soft and not scratchy at all. the cotton angora is also lovely. i'm not sure if it comes in dark green, but it may well, since she makes lots of basic colors generally. i'm doing an eyelet lace scarf in off white right now and the stitch definition is lovely.

if i find a good cotton acrylic, i'll post again. :)

I bought some Filatura Lanarota Luxor DK from Smiley's not long ago- http://www.smileysyarns.com/

It's 50/50 cotton and acrylic. I liked it a lot. Plus, it's only $1.99/skein from Smiley's, though they do have a $30 minimum order policy.
