Default White wool or white cotton?

I'm already working on an acrylic blanket and there will probably be
more of those for everyday use and for them to do with what they want.
I also wanted to make one extra special one that I would hope would be
saved and handed down in future years. For that one, I thought a
natural fiber might be better. If white wool would turn yellow, then I
should think about alternative colors.


If you use wool, you have to hope that the intended recipients will
care for it well. Think moths.
