This yarn looks like “Giddy” to me!
Absolutely loving all the entries so far, it’s going to be so hard choosing a winner!
This skein is on display in This is Knit and we are taking entries from there also.
Keep the suggestions coming :)
Morning Haze – reminds me of the colours as the mists lift on a summer’s morning
Honeysuckle
Popsicle
Reminds me of Waterford’s copper coast with the blue sea&sky, copper sand, sea shells and the sea pink flowers that grow along the coast. I’d call it Copper Coast. Looks divine!
For me it would have to be “Eclipse” reminds me of a lunar eclipse at sundown!
Shepherd’s Delight ……. as in red sky at night shepherds delight
It reminds me of a shepherds delight but someone already said that so now I call it “Valentia” my favourite place in the summer with summer skies, hedge rows with all those orange lilys and fushia and all you want is to be by the sea on the beach. In case the evening is chilly one needs a shawl in these colours. Then on those days that are dull and grey you put on your shawl and straight away you are back in Valentia!!!!!
I’m thinking fruit and ice cream; Knickerbocker Glory or Summer Sundae!
Looks like Bubblegum Sorbet to me.
These gorgeous colors remind me of sweet, delicious cotton candy swirls from a summer carnival, so I would name it Cotton Candy!
It reminds me of the inside of giant jawbreakers – maybe Jawbreaker? sweet and worth the effort to get!!
Lavender sky for my tuppence worth
Summer Bouquet or Summer Blooms
African sunset, it evokes a feeling of lions basking in the sunset of the Serengeti. It is just fabulous
Another one – bellini
It reminds me of Tutti Frutti!
Honeysuckle
First I thought of Sunset Surf, with the blue and green speckles reminding me of the sea. Then after seeing that a lot of the suggestions contain “sunset” I thought maybe Sundown Splash.
It’s a beautiful colourway, regardless of the name.
