 colorway: Biancabella The newest edition to the TurtleDove Yarns family is such a special yarn I cannot seem to find the right name... So, I am employing the bright minds of all you creative people to help me come up with a name that both adheres to TDYs m.o. and does justice to this very special yarn. It is a super soft blend of Merino, Cashmere & a bit of Nylon for strength. It is a true lux sock yarn!  colorway: Sochi There are no rules, just submit a comment with a name, any name, could be your own name, and as many entries as you'd like. If I choose the name you submit, you will receive a free skein of this stuff in your choice of these two colorways, Biancabella which is the pink & purple jewel toned skein, or Sochi, a blend of navy blues, rusted orange, deep emerald and cocoa. enjoy!!! ****I am currently busy dying a bunch of this yarn & it will be available here asap. thanks!! ****** CommentsEmily Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:28:29 Well, I hate to say it, but have you considered Condor? Stacey Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:39:20 Well...I do love the birdie theme, so might I suggest Titmouse? It's like kumquat - you can't help but giggle when you say it! Reagan Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:47:50 Dang it!!! I wanted Mockingbird. Oh Emily you totally beat me to it. Now I have to come up with something just as awesome. Unless of course Condor was your guess. Which is it, condor or mockingbird? Or can you put two in one post? This is blowing my mind. rubino Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:50:42 this may seem silly but how about :"Shah Tooche", erica bea Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:18:32 haaa. i do giggle when i say titmouse or kumquat. reagan Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:43:43 my new one is meadowlark Tracy Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:45:17 How about kestrel or starling? Stacey Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:39:58 Dik-dik, eh? Roz Switalski Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:43:06 red bellied parrot Kim Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:48:38 How about nightingale? Mary Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:23:35 How about Bee-Eater? (i.e. takes the sting out of a harsh day on your tootsies) erica bea Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:26:41 Oh my gosh Mary, that bird is gorgeous!!! I will definitely be creating a colorway in his likeness! thanks for the suggestion! Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:30:16 OK We are talking birds here huh?? Ziona Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:54:09 darn, i was gonna do hummingbird. Emily Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:22:56 Budgerigar! Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:39:48 How about Stellar? (I'm thinking of the Stellar's Jays I see out my front window every day...) StaceyKnitsIt Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:56:52 Damsel, Torrid, Fever, Rising, Fleur, Fauna, Passion, Riot, Berries, Perfection, Precious... Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:57:07 Okay... Here goes!! Teri Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:59:17 I am confused. Where is the yarn? Mary Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:00:09 Roadrunner Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:12:20 Humm I too was wondering what the yarn looks like.. I thought it was the like the sochi for some reason??? Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:15:27 Ok Ok.. I promise I'll stop... LOL marina Salume Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:45:37 Delicious. Scrumptious. Decadent. Old Money. Luxor. Osiris. Cleopatra. Lauren Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:03:30 Hmm how about...Goldfinch, Song, Acorn or ? ha that is all I've got. :) erica bea Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:09:46 wow!! you guys are rocking my world. there are soooo many great entries!! obviously you all are aware of our bird-theme, but don't feel obligated to stick to it, i make up the rules around here! ; ) Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:19:57 they are lovely. how about Sarah Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:42:40 You know, there is a bird called a Bishop. Which makes me think of DR. WALTER BISHOP. I'm just saying. Mary Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:51:49 Tip Towhee !!! Mary Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:03:34 Song Sparrow Sock Kristen Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:12:05 How about Owlet Sock? erica bea Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:15:45 mary - tip towhee is hilarious! and sarah - referencing fringe in the naming of this yarn is totally not beyond me! heather Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:40:20 If it hasnt already been said than mine is meadowlark luxe sock . If it has i second the vote and vote for my original, dodo. Teri Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:43:35 What else but Peacock? Peacock Strut (there are struts on guitars too - right?) Peacocks are beautiful - and they know it! Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:45:23 a different kind of "wing" but a wing nevertheless. Stacey Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:13:30 Hmm. On a more serious note, I've been thinking a lot about Roadrunner. I guess because they run. On their feet. Where socks would go if birds wore socks. reagan Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:49:14 I have two more: Jen Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:23:44 Twitter? bethany Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:52:41 How about going with the turtle part of turtle dove yarns? How about Cooter? Carmen Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:57:18 I immediately thought of CMN - my initials! Also for Cashmere, Merino & Nylon :) april Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:58:13 how about zerbert? osmia Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:14:01 Luvvvin the wings idea. Meghan Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:27:17 What about Ken Lee or Happy? Christal Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:38:27 Kiwi Cuddles since they are always on their feet & they look soft & fuzzy. Chris Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:09:01 Since that yarn is absolutely luxurious for a sock yarn (yummy!) my suggestion has to be "Paradise" in reference to the spectacular Birds of Paradise: bethany Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:12:10 Turtles may not be so popular in yarn base names. Here are my real entries: Jessica Sat, 19 Sep 2009 05:53:51 How about Carol Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:10:53 Swanspun (sock yarn) heather Sat, 19 Sep 2009 12:58:26 Ok, I love Roadrunner and all it implies, then my brain went to rumrunner?? Not a bird but hey. Bethany, lovin u, Keith's Partridge (no tm infringement there) hee hee. erica bea Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:00:44 i'm so excited about all of these great names. you guys are awesome! Reagan Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:06:04 Song Bird Diggeramy Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:44:39 After reading the description I immediately thought of my soft baby's skin or a very soft stuffed animal like the Velveteen Rabbit. So I submit the following: Marianne Sun, 20 Sep 2009 06:41:35 Reminds me of a Blue Heron at sunset. I know I am late! Can't wait to get my hands on this stuff! Chia Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:21:52 Maybe if it is not too late: erica bea Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:24:54 WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:27:22 The yarns remind me of the colors at dusk, so I'm thinking a night time theme... Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:33:22 How cute... Biancabella. My name is Bianca :-) Emily Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:33:51 Cockatoes! Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:31:45 How about naming it after the martlet? It's a mythical footless bird with a cool heraldic history -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martlet Leave a Reply | Erica Bea
