 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 09/17/2009 11:28
Well, I hate to say it, but have you considered Condor? Stacey 09/17/2009 11:39
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 09/17/2009 11:47
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 09/17/2009 11:50
this may seem silly but how about :"Shah Tooche", erica bea 09/17/2009 12:18

How about Bee-Eater? (i.e. takes the sting out of a harsh day on your tootsies) erica bea 09/17/2009 14:26
Oh my gosh Mary, that bird is gorgeous!!! I will definitely be creating a colorway in his likeness! thanks for the suggestion! Ziona 09/17/2009 14:54

Roadrunner Humm I too was wondering what the yarn looks like.. I thought it was the like the sochi for some reason??? marina Salume 09/17/2009 16:45
Delicious. Scrumptious. Decadent. Old Money. Luxor. Osiris. Cleopatra. Lauren 09/17/2009 17:03
Hmm how about...Goldfinch, Song, Acorn or ? ha that is all I've got. :) erica bea 09/17/2009 17:09

You know, there is a bird called a Bishop. Which makes me think of DR. WALTER BISHOP. I'm just saying. Mary 09/17/2009 18:51
Tip Towhee !!! Mary 09/17/2009 19:03
Song Sparrow Sock Kristen 09/17/2009 20:12
How about Owlet Sock? erica bea 09/17/2009 20:15
mary - tip towhee is hilarious! and sarah - referencing fringe in the naming of this yarn is totally not beyond me! heather 09/17/2009 20:40
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 09/17/2009 20:43
What else but Peacock? Peacock Strut (there are struts on guitars too - right?) Peacocks are beautiful - and they know it! Stacey 09/18/2009 08:13
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 09/18/2009 08:49
I have two more: Jen 09/18/2009 09:23
Twitter? bethany 09/18/2009 09:52
How about going with the turtle part of turtle dove yarns? How about Cooter? Carmen 09/18/2009 11:57
I immediately thought of CMN - my initials! Also for Cashmere, Merino & Nylon :) april 09/18/2009 12:58

Luvvvin the wings idea. Meghan 09/18/2009 16:27
What about Ken Lee or Happy? Christal 09/18/2009 19:38
Kiwi Cuddles since they are always on their feet & they look soft & fuzzy. Chris 09/18/2009 21:09
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 09/18/2009 22:12
Turtles may not be so popular in yarn base names. Here are my real entries: Jessica 09/19/2009 05:53
How about Carol 09/19/2009 10:10
Swanspun (sock yarn) heather 09/19/2009 12:58

Song Bird Diggeramy 09/19/2009 19:44
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 09/20/2009 06:41
Reminds me of a Blue Heron at sunset. I know I am late! Can't wait to get my hands on this stuff! Chia 09/20/2009 14:21
Maybe if it is not too late: erica bea 09/20/2009 18:24
WE HAVE A WINNER!!! The yarns remind me of the colors at dusk, so I'm thinking a night time theme... Emily 09/21/2009 20:33
Cockatoes! 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
