Best Flesh Colored Yarn Anyone??????????

[peggytoes]

HEY ... JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS FOUND THE

PERFECT FLESH COLORED YARN YET??? I have a series of dolls I want

to do in the next few months but need the right color of yarn.

(I think I'll have my brother look into it while he's in China next week.)

I've got all shades of pinks, peaches, tans, creams, light muaves, but no REAL FLESH COLOR. :thinkANY HELP:think

CAN YOU POST YOUR FAVORITE FLESH COLORED YARN BY PHOTO PLEEEEEEEASE???!!!!

I use RHSS in soft white, not quite flesh colored but works.

i too am looking for a nice skin color. i tried bernat big value in peach but i found it to have a little too much orange in it. i'd love to find one more on the tan side. i saw this on the webs page but don't know if it will work! from what i see, they have a lot that could be good potentials, like # 16, 28 or 305

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE COOL YARN SITE!!! I WOULD LIKE TO TRY SOME YOU LISTED #304 also, AND SOME OF THE SIRDAR YARNS - the

SNUGGLY DK ones.... they look promising. I have several cones of good

colors I bought off of ebay, a nice seller helped me out with some but

the yarn isn't nice and soft like I want it to be, but beggars can't be choosers all the time!!! I'll let ya know if I use any of these or find any

others! THANKS AGAIN! Peggy

I use Bernat Satin in Camel, e.g.:

 

 

It's a light tan but I think it makes a nice flesh colour.

THANKS JUNE! It does make a nice color ... especially for the

dolls I'm going to do... NOT YOUR EVERYDAY AVERAGE DOLLS....

but I'm not telling what YET!!! I so APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S HELP

IN THIS FORUM - YOU LADIES ARE AWESOME!!!!:clap:clap

You have me intrigued Peggy! Can't wait to see what you come up with

Sometimes lighter colors like Caucasian-fleshy colors will pick up tones from what they're next to. The perfect color for a doll in a blue dress might not look the same for a doll in a yellow dress.

 

I actually use my arm as a gauge in the store.

i myself have used red heart buff color for the flesh color it tursn out ok and i know a few others have used it as well.

My favorite flesh color is called Heather or Dark Heather, by Bernat.

I've used Caron Simply soft in like a cream color - it's really hard to find something. I'd ask KristieMN what she uses for her fairies and mermaids...she seems to have found a good one by the pics!

Actually, I use lt peach for skin tone.

I LOVE THE LIGHT PEACH - THANKS FOR THE LINK!!! I'VE HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THIS COLOR. THE DOLLS I AM DOING THOUGH WILL NOT BE THE NORMAL SKIN COLORING... BUT THIS IS PERFECT FOR THESE DOLLS.... I LIKED THIS COLOR BEFORE BUT DIDN'T KNOW THAT HERRSCHNERS SOLD IT. I'll have to check out their other colors too. THANKS AGAIN!
