I have a pattern that calls for 100% cotton yarn but I have a wool blend yarn. Can I substitute the wool blend for the cotton in the pattern or will I need to get the right yarn?

It can be quite tricky when substituting yarn types. Cotton doesn't stretch the way acrylic does. I can't say what a wool blend would do. The easiest way to do it is with the yarn specified in the pattern directions.
I would try it and see what happens. You can always frog it and go buy the cotton if it doesn't work.

Thanks for the advice. I will probably just go buy the cotton yarn.
