“Merrow” a mermaid in Irish folklore, as the beautiful colours an untamed mermaid on a sunny day.
Caribbean.
Mosaic
reminds me of “Sugar and Spice”
Sunset shimmer
I think of looking at italian marble with its mix of rich colours which has random flecks and veins of gold running through it that Italians call a ‘Melange.’
How about “kaleidoscope eyes”? That’s what I think of when I see this yarn. <3
Seaside Rover
I would say ‘Galway Bay’ as it reminds me of watching sunsets in the West of Ireland!
What a wonderful colourway in this skein! It immediately brought me back over thirty years to my wandering around India during my volunteering years with Concern in Bangladesh and seeing the multi-coloured sands on the beaches at the southernmost tip of India!
Kanyakumari Sands is what I’d call this wonderful colourway!
Reminds me of sunsets in the greek isles…so maybe ‘santorini sunset’.
It reminds me of evening sunsets -‘Coral Skies’ is my suggestion
Scattered
Based on my previous suggestion but as the other Fade St 4ply have single names.it seemed appropriate.
Rayleigh (pronounced ray-lee) Sky
Based on the scientist who the phenomena is named after – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering
My first two ‘Lui ne Greine’ and ‘Shepherds Delight’ were already taken, It’s amazing how we all think alike :) !!!
I reckon we all had this image in our heads – http://irishamerica.com/2013/05/donegal-the-forgotten-county/sunset-over-horn-head/
Tequila Sunrise
‘Sunset over dublin bay’
It reminds me of Fun & Happiness so “Confetti”
Summer Sunset!! Looks like we are all similarly inspired and are transported to a balmy summer evening in Ireland where the sky comes to life in a blaze of colours.. Oooh, Summer Blaze is another option.
Sunrise by the Lake
Or
Coral Reef

The first thing that popped into my head as the image scrolled by on my screen was Monarch, as in the butterfly, The beautiful bronze color and the spots.. Yeah when I got a longer look, I saw pinks and blues, but I am sticking with my first impression. –
Monarch
