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...

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

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.
