My favorite yarn for making the tiny weaving loom ornaments has been discontinued and so I needed some variegated yarn with very short repeats or color sections. When you are weaving something that is less than 2 inches across, you need only a few inches of each color to get nifty stripes. So this afternoon I split up a ball of nice wool yarn and I dyed 5 new colorways. Now I need to give them names. When I sell these in my etsy shop, you choose the colorway – I weave one up for you “on demand” out of one of these yarns, so each one varies a bit but you will have the set of colors you choose. I am thinking #1 is Rhubarb and #4 is Violas, but would love suggestions for all 5. What would you call these colors?

I like your mom’s suggestion of painted bunting for #2. It may be unoriginal, but I think #3 is spring.
