Tailor's chalk recommendations

Post image

I got this plaid flannel fabric second hand. All of my chalk pencils are either white, red, blue, purple or black. None work on this fabric color wise, but also all are too hard. I figure likely yellow or orange would work the best and something extra soft. Does anyone here have any recommendations for something you yourself have used in the past? US based.

When I had a similar issue I used tailors tacks for all my markings
