Contest – Name the Silk & Silver Yarn

I’d like to introduce to you my new yarn.  It is a blend of Merino/Silk/Nylon and REAL SILVER!  It’s a sock yarn, but has great drape (not to mention those sparkles), so would also be really fabulous for scarves and shawls.

The problem? I need a name for the yarn base. I’m looking for something that will be catchy and memorable, and fits in my Tiger/Animal theme (although that isn’t crucial), and is unique. Yeah, I know….tall order. To clarify, I need to name the yarn base, not a particular colorway.  Some of my existing yarn bases are ‘Tabby’, ‘Tiger Twist’, ‘Tiger Cub’, ‘Siberian Worsted’, ‘Wooly Mammoth’, Cougar, and ‘Panda’.  As I said, it doesn’t HAVE to be a tiger/big cat name, just somehow fit in the shop theme, or be so cool that I just HAVE TO name it that! Pop down to the comments section of this post, and submit your ideas. If I choose your idea (you must be the first to post that name), you’ll win a skein of the new Silver & Silk yarn dyed just for you!  (So be sure you leave a valid way to contact you when you leave your comment.)
