Hi gang. I'm trying to find some flesh-tone wool for an applique of a little girl. I suppose I can use regular fabric, but it would be nice to have a little texture. I've been searching online and can't seem to locate any. Then, I thought about ya'll! I just know someone will have some inside info on a quilt shop or online store that carries it. Sew...please, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

8) thanks!!

Scroll down a ways to the Naturally Neutral group, # 5 is called blush. These are 12" X 18" pieces, but they also have yardage.

I just bought a box of wool squares at a sale really cheap. I will check it out to see what is in it. I haven't even really looked at it.

Hi how much flesh colored wool did you need? Last winter I was making a santa wool applique piece and I found a coat in a thrift shop that was just the right color. If your interested I would be willing to share a piece with you.

You can e-mail me to let me know how big of a piece you need.
