Quandry

I am in a bit of a dilemma. I've started on my first tapestry; I like the design and the colours. I've bought Robertsons tapestry wool and it feels and looks 'cheap'. Maybe I'm justed used to using Anchor cotton which has a richness in both colour and texture but the Robertsons just feels wrong. I've finsihed the outline of the design and started the colours, but it's looking drab and I'm not happy with it. I'll post the picture of the outline of the design and the initial work on the colour so that you can see what I mean later. Do I start over with Anchor wool or not?
