The two  types of striping yarn with orange I have here neither are  vana
yarns.  But I love the feel the stretchiness of the Vanna yarns.  So Enjoy
the adventure of another yarn line.

Warm  smile,

Becky and the scared little pup Jake

Becky,

That yarn does sound perfect.  Is the yarn you  mentioned the Vanna yarn?  
Do
you have any idea the name of the  yarn?

Thanks,
Annette

Oh wow, that  sounds like such cool yarn and just what you are looking for
Annette.   I bought from a store closure estate sell and have orange 
striping
yarn  with appracot. There might be a touch of yellow in there can't
remember, in  mine that is.  Do you all remember Dream Cycles, the orange 
and
white  iced cream bars and Summer's dream iced cream from Schwanns? That is
the  color.  It is absolutely my husband's favorite yarn color. He will  
reach
for that yarn every time when I just and the customer can't decide on  a
color to use.  He says, "Oh Beck use the Dream cycle yarn," and  hands me 
the
entire bag. I made a little person jacket out of the yarn and  my customer,
who couldn't decide was blown away.

I just checked vanna's choice that Joyce suggested,  the only orange stripes
is an orange with shades of apricot in it. Will  keep looking. I'm looking
for some yarn also.
