Autumn Gold Rush
and
Mulberry Love
The top one reminds me of a flickering fire so I'll go with "Fireside Romance" for that one.
The bottom one looks purplish so I suggest "Purple Haze" for it.
My Ravelry name is peanutgreen.
burnt clove
and
bruised heart
very nice colorways and others on your etsy!
Top one: Chestnut Harvest
Bottom one: Concord Jam
(like the grapes).
Alternatively, Concord Conserve
(still like the grapes, but with bits of orange peel floating in it!)
You have beautiful colorways!
I'd call the top colorway Appalachia, because it reminds me of the Appalachian Mountains. The bottom colorway I'd call Moonrise, as it has all the colors in the night sky when the moon is rising.
My Ravelry name is: hilliknits
Love the contest.
The first one-
Wildfire
Evening Sky Ablaze
The second-
Middummer Nights Dream
Islamorada (purple island)
Indigo Child
I am LaVerna on ravelry!
I like "The Pinko Bitch"'s idea of Saffron Curry for the first one, but also thought maybe:
Sepia Toned <3'in
and the second:
Winter Sunset
OMG, (could just be my screen but)i love the way these yarns seem to glow!
i am a science geek, and immediatly on seeing the blue one i thought "biolumenesence!" - its when sea creatures glow (often a bright, gorgeous, blue) at night or in the deep parts of the ocean where there is no light...
Top: Maple Leaves
Bottom: Purple Rain
Love the colors, especially the top one!
the top one looks like apple butter, and the lower one looks like berry blast.
Beautiful yarns
I say Golden Fire for the top one and Dusk on Snow for the bottom one
Oops, forgot to say that I'm rhondita95 on ravelry

The first one: Golden Harvest
Second one: Twilight Lilac
I'm Halloweentango on Ravelry :)

I would call the first Fall leaves and the second would be Berry Patch.
Passioned Orange
and
Iron Grape
Okay, this is a second attempt at posting my suggestions, forgive me if they're on the list somewhere.
In honor of the ever classic, much missed show of my youth, Gilligan's Island, I'm going to suggest
Ginger (sultry, steamy, sexy) & Maryann (all American red, white & blue)
Amydo on Ravelry
Spiced Cake or Masala for the top and Peacock for the bottom skeins. Beautiful colorways!
beccak on ravelry :)
I know this one will make you smile so I have to suggest it - Candied Bacon.
The second yarn I spent the day thinking of Summer Pudding. That said, I skimmed the other suggestions and someone suggested 'Blurple' and now I can't get that pseudo-word out of my head.
Kolbrunna
I suggest Autumn Lane for the first and either Razzleberry or A Midsummer Night's Dream for the second.
Caitie (littlecaitie on Ravelry)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!
I have another one for the bottomone:
Tangled up in Blues
I have been contemplating two appropriate names...I wanted something with historical beauty and strength...so I went to the greek gods. For the bottom skein, I believe the god of the vine, Demeter and the top skein would be Artemis goddess of the hunt.
dobarah here and on ravelry!
Autumn Fire and Clouds at Sunset.
--Heledd in Schattentor
My suggestion is...
1. BARLEY SUGAR TWIST
2. PURPLE HEART
My Ravelry name is cottonon.
For the first, Anne (as in, Anne of Green Gables)
and, the second will require some explanation, but,
Lucinda, based on this sentence from Lucy Maud Montgomery's Chronicles of Avonlea:
" Lucinda had magnificent eyes. Once Romney had written a sonnet to them in which he compared their colour to ripe blueberries. This may not sound poetical to you unless you know or remember just what the tints of ripe blueberries are--dusky purple in some lights, clear slate in others, and yet again in others the misty hue of early meadow violets." (For some reason, this sentence has stuck with me for years even though the last time I read it I was 10.)
Also MsFeasance on Ravelry.
I'd go Oktoberfest or Maple Syrup for the first and Bluberry Pancakes for the second :) (Can you tell I'm hungry? hahaha) Gorgeous colors!
I'm alishamarie on Ravelry :)
Gorgeous yarns! First one: Celtic Copper. Second one: Winter Berries.
I'm Divarago on Ravelry.
Hmmm. For the first:
Symphony of flames
Temper tantrum or Temper Temper
Second: Melodramatic
Princely
I'm "fizix" on Ravelry
Fall in American for the goldish colors of our Falls.
American Skies for the second one. The colors remind me of our skies when you look up at various times.
dealonna@yahoo.com or dealonnia on ravelry.
Beautiful color combinations:
yarn #1: DAMSEL IN DISTRESS (I'm imagining said damsel trapped in a burning castle turret or cornered by a flame throwing dragon) .
another name I have is DRAGON SCALES since this yarn has an almost iridescent feel to it, I imagine a dragon having that display of fiery oranges and reds shimmering from its scales.
yarn #2: ENCHANTMENT (I'm imagining a maiden strolling through mythical forrest at dawn or dusk,blanketed with fog, when fairies appear).
another name for this one could be FAIRY GODMOTHER (I imagine her appearing in a swirl of blues and pinks, much like this yarn)
Best of luck selecting names!
Firelight
American Pie (red/white/blue jumble!)

Mare Serenitatis (the Sea of Serenity on the moon)
