HELP with yarn color choice!!!!!
I want to knit a prayer shawl for a sick friend and her favorite color is orange. I've found the yarn I want to use, but according to the photos on the website, I can't tell which one is MORE orange.

Lion Brand Color Waves has 2 colors that "look" orange (or at least "orange-y") - Mai Tai or Sunset Red. I've looked at photos on Ravelry and ebay but still can't tell. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm slightly color-blind!!!!!!

So, can anyone here PLEASE help me?? Has anyone actually seen these in person?

THANKS!!!!!

Neither of the little squares looks orange to me. If you really want orange, you might need to consider different yarn.
