Ooh, fun!

I want to knit a large blanket in safety orange. It's for a friend. If he reads this, he'll know who he is. ;)

If your friend's mother has a large quantity of, say, acrylic (I believe that's what it's called) yarn in that colour (otherwise known as traffic-cone orange), I'd love to get my hands on some. Hell, any kind of yarn as long as it doesn't cost the earth. :)
