Have I found the right yarn and hook combo?

A follow-up to http://my.opera.com/EstherP/blog/2008/01/10/how-hard-is-it-to-find-the-right-yarn
Two photos to share are here
Two samples of Jaggerspun Zephyr. Top one, done on a 2.5mm hook and hand washed. Bottom one done on a 2.5 mm hook and then a 1.75 mm hook. Unwashed. Oh! How I like the looks of the coverage with the Zephyr and the 1.75 mm hook!
Second photo is a close-up of the Zephyr worked with the 2.5mm hook and then the 1.75mm hook. It's so soft, and very soft hand, good drape. Really good coverage.
I think I'm going with Zephyr, 1.75 mm hook. The project will take forever. But I'm not in any kind of a hurry. Oh, the 1.75 mm hook is an Inox.
By the way, the swatch is 20 stitches wide. Only slightly wider than a bank freebie lollipop.
A great big THANK YOU to my friend, Elizabeth, who thought Zephyr might work and happened to have some she could pop in the mail to me.
