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!

Okay, my husband made me add the reference for Lady and the Tiger, since he didn’t get it and thinks I might be a literature geek that remembered too much from grade school. Lady and the Tiger is a terrific short story by Richard Stockton.

Someone already suggested Felis Silvestris, so I’m going with “Neofelis Nebulosa” (the scientific classification for the Clouded Leopard).
Hi Brooke,
I finally got the point, it does not have to have “Tiger” in the name.
