Thanks to everyone who posted such wonderful names. I’d put 4 yarns on the previous blog post, but currently have 9 to name. Amazingly, some of the names will work for the 5 yarns I didn’t post!
So many, many thanks to the creative geniuses listed below, along with their yarn names. London and I are getting together soon to finish up, then Rising Moon Farm Yarn will be available soon. (Or should it be Hit by a Farm Yarn? Sheepish Yarn? Seriously. How can I write 5 books in 6 years and not be able to name my own yarn?)
Cherry Fizz…. thanks to sanderfarm
Northern Lights… thanks to transFarmer (or rather, the wife, for she thought of it!)
Gone with the Wind… thanks to Elaine Mulligan (I dropped the orange..hope that’s okay. The yarn that gets this name looks like that scene of Atlanta burning—all oranges and browns)
Winter Skyline…. thanks to MaggieMaeFarm
Seaglass… thanks to Cindy
Ice Palace… thanks to Mama Pea
Pink Moon…. thanks to Sheryl Robertson
Summer Sherbert… thanks to Mama Pea again for sherbert, which I altered.
And just so you don’t think I’m totally useless when it comes to naming yarn, I named one myself: Indian Summer…. which we’ve been having for 2 weeks but is almost over.
I’m currently knitting a pair of socks out of Ice Palace to make sure a pair can be got from one skein….
Thank you again!

What fun! Great names submitted. I’m honored to have contributed a name to Hit by a Farm Yarn. That’s catchy!
my wife will be happy, and I may never hear the end of it, lol
Fabulous!! I can now add “yarn namer” to my resume. That was a blast. I can’t imagine trying to choose. Maybe you’ll just have to create more yarn to use the rest of the names.
those names are all great! If you’re putting them on a label you might want to correct the spelling of sherbert to sherbet, though, there’s lots of persnickety folks like me out there LOL… will we be able to buy yarn online or will you be selling it locally?
Great names! I’m with Erin – will we be able to buy online or will we have drive to your place to purchase?
Great choices! Hit By A Farm Yarn is good. Sheepish Yarn is cool, too. I would have a hard time choosing if I were you, though I have faith the muse will strike you.
Erin—thank god for editors and detail-oriented people!
Yes, I’ll put them on the blog… But if you wanted to come visit, Mama Pea, you could save on postage!
I mean, Mama TEA, if you want to come visit… (and Mama Pea as well.) Same name except for one letter. Help!
