Flesh colored 4 ply worsted yarn?
I've been searching for a company/retailer that makes or sells flesh
colored 4 ply worsted yarn, without success. Any help in locating this product would be appreciated, or any suggestions on what brand/color can be substituted for flesh color. |

What is your definition of "flesh-colored"? RedHeart, Patons and
Sirdar all make yarns in every shade of the rainbow, including several that would probably qualify as "flesh-tone", depending on what part of the world you're from or whose tan (or winter pallor) you're trying to match On Sat, 18 Oct 2003 01:58:50 GMT, Confuddled wrote: I've been searching for a company/retailer that makes or sells flesh colored 4 ply worsted yarn, without success.

Thanks for the reply, SlinkyToy! I should have been more specific.
What I have is a Leisure Arts brochure for crocheted Christmas ornaments. The ornaments are made with 4 ply worsted. It calls for "flesh" for the faces of Santa, soldier, elf, boy & girl. So I guess this would be North Pole pallor? I've been to WalMart, Kmart, Jo-Ann, Michaels, etc. but I can't seem to find a 4 ply worsted that comes close to the "flesh" color in the brochure pictures. Hoping someone out there has experience in patterns with faces/hands and can offer a specific brand/color name of a yarn that will fill my needs. Might just have to go with a very light pink and claim they have sunburn... On Sat, 18 Oct 2003 02:33:33 GMT, SlinkyToy wrote: What is your definition of "flesh-colored"?

Brown Sheep's color card is online at http://www.brownsheep.com
Check the rug hooking section at Hobby Lobby - small hanks of an assortment of colors. On Sat, 18 Oct 2003 03:23:39 GMT, Confuddled wrote: Thanks for the reply, SlinkyToy!

No noeed to worry. You can substitute tapestry yarn--any 4 ply brand
(NOT Persian type, that is 3X2 ply). DMC, Anchor, Bernat, or anything that is up for auction on Ebay and looks "fleshy". Let me know if you still have trouble finding this.--Irene Confuddled wrote in message . ..

All I can think of is the old New Yorker cartoon where a drugstore clerk calls over to his manager, "These folks say they all want flesh-colored band-aids" with a crowd in front of the counter including an Eskimo, a painted Plains warrior, a blonde in a Scandinavian sweater, an African in a loincloth...you get the point. |
