Help! New DK needs a name!
Coming soon from Miss Babs - A new DK yarn that we would like YOU to help us name! The new yarn is soft, superwash, 100% Merino with 3 smooth plies that create a smooshy, springy DK weight yarn. Please join us in the quest to come up with a terrific name for our New DK! You can submit your suggestions by commenting here, on our Facebook page, or on our Ravelry group. We will compile all the entries and select TWO winners. One winner will be randomly selected from all the entries. One winner will be selected from those that submit the winning name suggestion, if there is more than one person who suggests the winning name. The New DK name will be chosen by the Miss Babs Team here at the studio. We will announce the winners on Tuesday July 22nd. We appreciate our customers for their creativity, humor, and originality...so this is a chance to be part of the naming process!

Soiree!
1) Baalong – I was a Peace Corps Volunteer from ‘99-’01, teaching art at a school for the deaf in Ghana. Dagaare was spoken in my region, and “Baalong” means “soft”. The word also has “baa” in it, so how appropriate is that?!
2) Maya – Means “cloud” in Javanese. I’ve never been anywhere that Javanese is spoken, but I love this almost as much as I love Google Translate!
3) Smoothie – Because I love to make them in my Vitamix, and they are YUMMY, just like great yarn!
4) Twerkish – Because it sounds kind of like “Turkish”, which reminds me of a Turkish spindle I guess. And hey, I may be 40-something, but I’m hip, and it’s… well… bouncy. :)
