Here are the details. Send your entry to yarn AT lornaslaces DOT net with the subject line reading "New Yarn Name". We'll narrow the choices down to our three favorites by April 30. We'll post the top three on May 1 and let you vote for the winner. Voting will close at 5:00PM central time on May 15th.
In case of multiple entries for the same name, we'll use a number generator to pick the ultimate winner.
What's the prize, you ask? How does $500 of Lorna's Laces yarn sound? You heard right boys and girls, five hundred bucks at retail pricing.
Now that that’ s out of the way, let me tell you a little about it to get you started!
"Yarn X" is a 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk blend. It's a DK four ply. I like it knit up on US size 5's and I'm getting 22 sts/4 inches. This yarn is uber soft. Squishy too. Cuddly even.
It's nekkid in this picture, but rest assured we'll be painting it in all of Lorna's Laces glorious colorways. I wanted you to see it this way so the color didn't influence your creative genius.
Please keep in mind that we're not Publisher's Clearinghouse. Contests and giveaways aren't what we do every day. I'm trying to make things as simple and fair as I can. You could probably find a loophole to exploit, but let's try and play nice and just let this all unfold for what it is...fun, fun, fun!

Ooh, how fun! I can't wait to play with this new yarn, and see what name it will have!
Are we allowed to enter more than one name? I'm excited about this contest!

After looking at the names of your current yarns, how about Divine? It think it fits in with your description of they yarn.
My favorite fibers and my favorite to have in combination. I can't wait to get to play with some!
Here in the BOB (back of beyond) I keep hearing about Lorna's Laces but I didn't realise you had a follow.
And to be led here by such a luscious yarn - who could ask for more?

Why are people leaving there names on this thread? I think it says to email them.
"Nights at the Harem"
Can we e-mail more than one entry? If so, should they be in separate e-mails or all in one?
Thanks!
'Pacamorphasis?
How about "Delight"? I think it would fit in well with your other names!
Yes you can send more than one suggestion. Please keep it within reason though. 20 or so suggestions may be a bit of over-kill and a touch unfair.
Thanks!!

For some reason, I was not able to access the email address. I can't wait until the new yarn comes out! Alpaca and Silk ~ Yumm! How about the name, DUET, for such a yummy combo?

We had great fun at our Yarn Tasting last night generating names!
I would name the yarn Smooth as Silk

"Cloud."
I wanted to dive into a wall of baby alpaca recently. It felt like clouds should feel.
Ahhhhhh . . .
I tried to send a name but your email is bouncing. :(
How about "Baked Alaska"? or just "Alaska"? Or "Ice Skate"
