white wool

Have you considered bleached wool? I don't believe it will felt, but it will be white. As well, Patons Classic Merino comes in a Winter White and Briggs and Little has an aran weight wool in white, if you're looking for commercial yarn.

Have you considered linen?

It's readily available from weaving suppliers such as Robin&Russ.

Silk, if you're in a wealthy parish. Linen if you aren't.

You should be able to get a nice fine white wool to weave your stole with. Most good weaving supply outfits will carry a fine marino wool. A factory merino wool will have been bleached to a pure white (if indeed there is such a beast....LOL)

I know that Treenway on Saltspring island carries a blend of silk and merino. It is a very fine yarn with a lovely sheen. I have a skein of it right here. The colour is more ivory, but for a stole it would be lovely.
