Can you recommend some yarn?

I am thinking of making this shrug:

I was wondering if someone could recommend a yarn. My LYS is kind of small and I couldn’t find anything I liked. It is going with a chocolate brown dress for a wedding (I’ll attach a pic). I was thinking of a wine color and maybe a yarn that has a little bit of a shine to it, but nothing crazy. I’ll most likely be ordering the yarn online so the sky’s the limit!

Thanks!

I recently just made the circular shrug with 2 skeins of Caron Simply Soft. It’s cheap and has a bit of shine. It worked out really well. =)
