Caribbean.
“Merrow” a mermaid in Irish folklore, as the beautiful colours an untamed mermaid on a sunny day.
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.’
Sunset shimmer
reminds me of “Sugar and Spice”
I would say ‘Galway Bay’ as it reminds me of watching sunsets in the West of Ireland!
Seaside Rover
How about “kaleidoscope eyes”? That’s what I think of when I see this yarn. <3
It reminds me of evening sunsets -‘Coral Skies’ is my suggestion
Reminds me of sunsets in the greek isles…so maybe ‘santorini sunset’.
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!
Tequila Sunrise
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/
Scattered
Based on my previous suggestion but as the other Fade St 4ply have single names.it seemed appropriate.
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.
It reminds me of Fun & Happiness so “Confetti”
‘Sunset over dublin bay’
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 :)
This yarn looks like “Giddy” to me!
