Last month I received a shipment of our Lanas Puras Melosa Fingering weight yarn in all new colors.
Lanas Puras Melosa fingering weight skeins have a generous 440 yards of soft100% merino yarn. This is enough for a pair of socks or a scarf. The yarn is a beautiful and unusual single ply yarn, but it does hold up well for socks even though it is very soft. The yarn also felts well. Please check your pattern's yardage requirements. This yarn works well for socks, shawls or for any pattern using fingering weight yarn.
What's my problem with not posting them yet? They don't have names! I can't put up yarns without names. So I decided since you were enjoying the contests so much, I'd let you pick the names. This is the first contest of 2 contests. Give me names for the yarns. The second contest will be for you to pick the name you like best for each color. The winner of the first contest will be chosen by the online random number generator on the morning of November 21st. The winner can pick one skein of the new yarn in any color they would like to have.

You do not have to name all the yarns. Use the numbers under each picture and put your suggested name for colors next to the numbers in your post.
Please make sure that you leave me your contact information or I will be unable to send out this prize to you.
Good Luck!
