Hmmm... how about Harvest? It's lovely.
Heathery Moor!
by Lapinita
Oh, congratulations! The colorway is beautiful. I would name it 'Deepest Fall' or 'The Breath of Fall' - the colors are so autumnal. It also reminds me of the flowers in our garden that are losing their petals, and the leaves on the trees, so I think 'Husk' would be a really lovely name too.
I think...Rhubarb Pie. That's what I think of when I see the reds and purples.
It reminds me of an antique
Sari
so that's my suggestion!
Rose Earth
Fall Elangance. It just seems to be the best colors of fall.
Oh my, it's lovely. It has all the leaf colours of the various Maples ... so I suggest Maple, or maybe Mapleleaf.
I was thinking Autumn Leaves. It looks beautiful! The book looks awesome too.
A lovely colour, reminds me of a the beautiful colours you get as a bruise heals. So Bruise it should be!
Beautiful! I'd suggest Autumn Heath
It looks like the colors on the side of a mountain to me... so Mountainside would be my vote. And it's great to see your yarn featured so!
What rich colours! I was thinking October Country would be a good name. Thanks for such a great giveaway. :-)
Looks like my lipstick blots. How about "Autumn Kisses?"
How about Autumn Hedgerow? It reminds me of the flowers that bloom in Autumn and the colours of the fall leaves.
I like the name "Flying Carpet". The colors remind me of a rich Persian tapestry.
I would call it Spice Merchant. The colors are so rich and vibrant you can practically taste them! It's a really fabulous colorway.
For some reason it makes me think of
Mirkwood
so that's the name I would choose
That colorway is lovely! How about Autumn Spice.
It reminds me of the sunrise of a few mornings ago, so I'd call it September Morn or September Sunrise.
Galway Sunset
It's really pretty! What a great idea for colors! I would call it "Provence"!
It's coloring reminds me of tunduru sapphire. A strand of tunduru sapphire rondelles has almost the exact same color palette. Lovely!
Autumn walk in the woods.
A lovely colour.
Walking Along Roan Inish
It's very beautiful.
"Navajo Nation Sunset"
The Sante Fe, New Mexico sunsets are spectacular. They turn the sky a beautiful mix of purples, pinks, golds and copper, just like this yarn.
The Navajo indians were hunters and gatherers. As a result of Spanish influence, they began herding sheep and goats, depending on them for food and trade. They spun and wove wool into blankets and clothing which could be used for personal use or trading. They also depended on their flocks of sheep for meat. Their lives depended on sheep so much that, to the Navajo, sheep were a kind of currency and the size of the herd was a mark of social status.
Being that it is yarn spun from sheep and in the colors of a New Mexico sunset, I think "Navajo Nation Sunset" is the perfect name!
This is beautiful, reminds me very much of my recent trip to the isle of Arran and the colours on the hillsides there...so I'm going to suggest Corrie, which is Gaelic for "hollow in a hillside" and is also the name of the pretty villages on Arran....good luck choosing, lots of lovely names here already!
Yum! It looks like something you could eat.. it also reminds me of the windfall apples that have started to rot.. but that's possibly not so pretty. "Ripened" is my choice.
Fall Foliage was the first thing that came to mind!
The first thing that came to mind was "Mulled Wine"... cold winter evenings in front of a roaring fire. Tamara Dicker
First thing I thought of when I saw the gorgeous skeins of Aran Merino was Autumn Fields. The colors remind me of fields of Wildflowers at the beginning of Autumn, just before the their colors fade to late October. Lovely book! Thank you!
It reminds me of the fall foliage here in New England. Especially when you're driving on the highway and the colors of the leaves all blur together as you rush by.
So I think I would call it Scenic Drive.
I like Foliage as a name. It covers the range when leaves are turning on the trees to bushes bearing berries during the summer.
cornishcat: Rosie Lee, cockny for tea, but the yarn has the clours of rose and tea in it, what a wonderful blend!
Frost Kisses the Moor, or Frost-Kissed Moor
Tea Rose.
Lovely colours!
Such warn sleepy colours .... The name from me is "sleeping embers". I can just smell the smoke from the sleeping peat fire --- ah childhood memories ...
Mo from www.huggleknits.etsy.com
These colors are so beautiful and warm and evocative... how about "Appalachia"?
Super lovely, and I adore so many of the other possible names. I can't wait to read what you choose. My contribution:
Painted Desert
Love the book and the colors! Hm... how about antique rose?
Debbi
Rav: debbilynn42
Love the new yarn color and cann't wait for the new book. It will make a great addition to my collection. You might think of using "Vintage Moon" as a possible name for the new yarn color.
This colorway reminds me of the rich shades in Moroccan Berber Carpets. I think that a name like Moroccan Carpet or Berber Carpet would evoke the colors and shared textile history of both the yarn and the carpets.
knthomas7 on Ravelry
"pheasant". The color palate and vibrance reminds me of pheasant feathers.
RAV: stratton6
Autumn Equinox
BellyLaugher on Rav
These beautiful colors remind me of my vacation in the Grand Canyon. So I'm thinking Canyon Sunset or Sandstone.
SRZ on Ravelry
Reminds me of Potpourri!
It's gorgeous- whatever the name!
Beautifull, like "Indian summer"...
kkelisabeth on Rav
What an amazing book, and what a beautiful colour? Since Molly Bloom was known for her red hair, and I see lots of beautiful red's in this skein, I was inspired by the words of Molly Bloom's soliloquy and suggest "Flower of the Mountain" as a colour name.
Ooh, spectacular price. I'd love to win :)
Leaf Fall
Fallen Leaves
Falling Leaves
I've been eyeing this book on Rav. Fantastic patterns!
I think I would name this colorway 'Equinox.' To me these are the shades I think of when summer turns to fall.
It makes me think of the colors that let you know the season has changed. So my suggestion is Autumn Rising, or Autumn Arrival.
why not in french: "forêt d'automne" or "autumn forest" because of beautiful autumn leaves' colors
great colors , Beata
or "ratatouille " french name for recipe with peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, onions and condiment thyme, rosemary...
french names not from anonymous but from Dominique (daisy42 on ravelry)
Autumn
anna_k67 at yahoo dot com
It is lovely - how about Tapestry?

This colorway reminds me of the trees turning colors in upstate New York. How about Autumn in New York?
"Autumn's Bounty" comes to mind.
Wicklow?
Reminds me of the heathers on the Wicklow mountain. Here's a great shot of it.

"Autumn in my town".
"Weeping Rose"
April says
"Arboreal" or "Arboretum"
love,love,love these colors!!!!
My name for it: Onslow
-don't know why!?-
I take back my previous comment - I would like to suggest Sampler instead.
2ply on Ravelry
That's not quite an autumn-leaf shade of red to me, so maybe Chocolate Covered Cherries.
Wuthering Heights :)
Hips.
As in, rose hips.
(Or other sorts of hips, if you like.)
To me it looks like all the colors of the end of summertime.
I will call it "FADED BLOSSOM".
How about "Connemara Autumn"?
Love the yarn, and the book! I'd call it autumn harvest
Rav: PKMom
aurora borealis is the name that comes to me. very pretty!
Russet Summer
I'm FluffyK on Rav. :)
I would call it Firelight.
How about Cornucopia?
Rio Bravo, definitely! It has sort of a romantic cowboy feel to it.
Thanks for the chance to win!
what a beautiful yarn! How about Autumn Twilight?
Thanks for the giveaway! Crossing my fingers (and toes, and eyes)!
Seeing as the book is on Irish Knits and the yarn has a look of autumn, I was thinking of something Irish like
'Lunasa' (as that's when autumn begins)
The end of summer and start of fall is on my mind and the colors of this yarn remind me of all the different apples colors of apples. Since I'm leaning more towards fall and there are some lovely browns and spicey colors my name for this yarn would be:
Apple Cider
How about "Allspice", love the colors just right for Autumn! Congratulations with your section in the book as well!
Quercus. It looks just like the oak trees as the acorns and leaves start to fall. it's beautiful! x
I would say Autumn Leaves.
Spiced Cider or Mulled Wine. It's got all the richness of one of those drinks! Beautiful!
It's a beautiful Cranberry Bog!
It is such a nice combination of colors...it makes me think of Warm Embers.
Autumn Dryad. Reminds me of a print by Mack Derick by that name.
It also reminds me of my grandmother's wedding sari. So, no relevance to anyone else, but Kashi's Wedding comes to mind.
Knittingnezumi on Ravelry
I would say autumn woods...
lovely colors indeed!
"Compassion".
Autumn!
im never any good at this but im going to say shadows..this yarn has a very autumnal feel and my gram always says autumn is the time for shadows.. either that or something less sinister like.. glowing oak.. (an oak tree in the fall looks like its on fire) raineoc@yahoo.com
Fab colour! How about "equinox" as our autumn is just around the corner! :D
Harbinger: When the leaves turn and the air gets a certain chill, you know that autumn is on the way. (Lovely colors!!!)
I think that this yarn reflects so much Autumn so my contribution is "Shades og Autumn".
The rich shades remind me of a freshly opened nutmeg and such a delicious autumn and winter flavor. So I nominate NUTMEG as the name for this colorway.
How about 'Firecracker'? Love the autumn colours and looks like an explosion of colour to me.
Beautiful Colors! Reminds me of a Japanese Maple Tree with all of the reds and golds of the tiny delicate leaves
Thanks for another great giveaway
Great giveaway, nice book. The yarn? I think it's such "rusty-gusty".
What beautiful yarn! I think Autumn Quail would be a great name! Thanks for the giveaway!
Mulled Berry Wine
Mmmm. :)
the colors are warm, intimate, inviting, quietly sexy......
I think I'd name the gorgeous yarn:
Embrace
the colors remind me of the vanitas-paintings from the 17th century: fading roses, overripe fruits, a scull, a tin plate, candles: sensuality conscious of death.
so my suggestion is: vanitas
How about Vespers? This is me with the benefit of having read the many comments and suggestions above.
Purple Mountain,( Sliabh Corcra, County Kerry)
It looks like Autumn Moors or Heathered Hills or Highland Heather
http://www.scottish-at-heart.com/scottish-heather.html
whatever you call it, it is lovely and I want some!
So very warm - my name is ...
Embers
What about "Devil's Playground", like in this picture: http://www.djmed.net/images/Devils%2520Playground.jpg
Am I the only one who sees this and gets hungry?
It reminds me of sherbet. Delicious raspberry, pomegranate, pumpkin, pear, cherry sherbet. Maybe with a smidgen of cinnamon or clove.
Another words, call it...
"Autumn Sherbet".
Yummy!
My suggestion: forage
Because the colors make me think of wild plants that would be gathered for food.
I always go for the easy option - an Irish one!! How about Fómhar (Gaeilge for Autumn)? Apologies if someone has already suggested it; I didn't scroll through all the comments.
What an absolutely gorgeous colourway! I'm going to go with "Crush" (or perhaps "Crushed"?)
my suggestion is faded bloom
The colors remind me of beetroot. So, I suggest "Beetroot" as the name. Your yarns are so beautiful, Beata.

My first thought was "autumnal warmth". Certainly this yarn must evoke wonderful feelings of autumn based on the number of comments that include that word. So then I tried to think of a simple word that describes the warmth of fall and decided on "cozy".
Rustle.
Thanks for the opportunity to play!
I think "bramble walk" would be a good name for that.
How about: mulling spice?
it conveys a sense of warmth and references the fall colours of this yarn. :)
harvest delight?
Love it, colourful and subtle at the same time
Or Ripen?
Cranberry Bog
How about "saffron" for that gorgeous colour?
Plum Crumble. (getting hungry!)
Oh, its really lovely!
INDIAN SUMMER for the rich late summer/autumn colours.
Charlotte/Briskeby on Rav
Autumn (Fall) Hedgerow perhaps?
I immediately thought of Autumn but, seeing that you have many excellent autumnal suggestions, I am going to suggest you name it Pilbara, as the Pilbara region in Western Australia shares the same palette.
The Pilbara earth is all dusty reds and pinks and golds, because of the high iron content in the soil; and being very dry all the plants are grey and olive green.
You can see pictures if you do a google image search for "pilbara."
The color remebers me to the stones in my grandma´s shop - she sold amethyst, jade, mountain crystal and others.
This should be JASPIS.
"Third Season" seems like a good name.
Autumn leaves, of course! Our trees are gorgeous here today, on a misty fall morning. Kate Painter, in the WA-ID Palouse country in NW USA.
