recommend a DK / 8 ply weight yarn in something that will make the texture sing, like 100% wool or a wool blend such as merino and alpaca. You could also try holding 4ply wool yarn together with lace-weight mohair, as long as you can comfortably get the right gauge. One tester had great success with Knitpicks Gloss Fingering (70/30 merino/silk) held double with Knitpicks aloft (72/28 mohair/silk).
