Cream to lighten and to build the pale porcelain look; Acacia, a soft warm peach, for a natural skin. Blend the two and you have a whole range in between, from palest to warm — enough to match a face, hands, ears and feet on one figure and keep it consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy extra fine merino for faces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt about \u003cstrong\u003e19 microns\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is the finest wool we stock. The fibres are so fine they close over behind the needle, so you get a smooth, even surface instead of the pitted, pock-marked finish a coarser wool leaves.

A 36 or 38 will push through and leave visible holes.
