The winner of the smokering is 'Tamara'.....we thought the name ''Tundra Bearberry'' very fitting for this colorway. Congrats Tamara, please contact us by email with your mailing address !
Syrah. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm with gpc on the wine names. It reminds me of the claret sauce we used to put on vanilla ice cream when I was a kid. So delicious. So I'll go with claret.
ReplyDeleteI love this color. It reminds me of those rare red/purple colored sunsets that we see every once in a while. Burgundy sunset is my name.
ReplyDeletesorry, I didn't mean to be anonymous!
ReplyDeleteDont worry deanna, we have your entry......Thank you !
ReplyDeleteBlackberry Cordial. Alternatively, Tundra Rose, Desert Poppy, or Persephone's Downfall/Woe/Ruin.
ReplyDeleteAlpine Cranberry
ReplyDeletename: kimminnaq. The colours remind me of arctic cranberries, at various stages of ripening - beautiful reds - sweet and tart!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like what Martine said! I'm not even going to venture anything, it is so not my turn. But--when can I order some of this!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing, too, because I just spent days clicking on the site, trying to decide which color and weight on the Arctic Blend--this, no this, no all of it (I wish!) and of course today, having made my choice at last and coming to order, it's sold out. When does it come back? Or does it?
Looking forward to playing with the new blend, but looking around I don't see where I can order it yet?
Alison,
ReplyDeletethis is a new blend that we are taking on our promotional tour of Europe in the next couple of months france & the U.K. At this stage we are only working out color combinations and testing new colors....should be available for sale within a month. Have fun !
Oh how beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the name 'Blushberry'

"Arctic willow red" after the arctic willow which turns a gorgeous bright red in the summer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone!

I actually meant to type Arctic Cranberry instead of Alpine Cranberry. But I like both names so I'll submit them both.
ReplyDeleteBearberry, I think it's simple and perfect for this yarn. This humble little shrub produces the prettiest coloured berries that seem to glow against the simple backdrop of the arctic tundra. They range from red to blue/purple to black and I have found a few photos where the combination on just one plant looks exactly like this yarn. Bears eat them and Native Americans use the plant medicinally. I guess you could also include arctic bearberry or tundra bearberry or maybe bearberry glow? Thanks for running a fun competition, I am in NZ and just discovered your website, wow, wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like "Huckleberry Bliss"
ReplyDeleteHuckleberries are hard to pick but worth all the effort.
I guess that we all think it reminds us of something gorgeous enough to eat. Can't wait to try it.
of course Lorraine has final say but it may be wise to not have the name start with 'arctic' as there is a brand of qiviut yarn called "Arctic Qiviut" and all their yarn names start with "arctic".
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion for the name of this deliciously fabulous fiber is:
ReplyDeletesilver plum.
It has the soft sheen of silver gleaming against the depth of the luscious plum.
Would love this piece as I wear layers to keep my temperature stable in an area where institutions (even grocery markets) keep the air conditioner so cold I need to dress to go indoors.

This might be completely unoriginal, but how about "Egyptian Bordeaux?" :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! I am so excited! In fact I'm so happy and grateful to have won this beautiful exotic thing from a faraway land that I am going to pass it forward and run a competition (maybe on facebook)to give away one of my needle felted animals instead of selling her, giving everyone a chance! Here's what I do: http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodland_folk/
ReplyDeleteI think I will give away the grey kitty. Thanks again SOO very much :)
where do I put my address? Tamara
