I want to give you this.

So today, I was just
You know, like every other day. Sittin' around. Doing nothing except rocking in the ol' rocking chair and admiring the view.
And I thought to myself, "Self, you oughtta give away a skein of yarn."
And then I answered myself.
I said, "Self, you are correct. I shall see to it at once."
I love it when I listen to myself.
This skein is not just any old skein. It has magic in it, old magic. Creative magic. The magic of Creativity.
Sometimes the mood strikes me to make something new and different. I often have to ignore my friend Creativity, much to her chagrin.
But sometimes I can't ignore her. She begs and stamps her foot and sticks out her lower lip. She beckons, and I am helpless but to follow.
This is a one of a kind colorway. It is part of a small dye lot, and can never, ever be recreated. I didn't write down the recipe, I didn't follow my usual methods, I just dumped and mixed and tasted until it was right.
Here's what I'm thinking. Sometimes, I will let Creativity have her way. I will make special colorways that have never been seen before and will never be seen again. Colorways like this:
And once in a while, I'll put this never-to-be-seen-again colorways up for sale, just for fun.
This will let me be creative and will let you get something extra special.
I already have about 25 special creative skeins ready to rock. Instock and ready to rock, just the way they should be.
But I want to have a name for these special stockings, so I can say, "Super Duper Creative Yarn Stocking Tomorrow!" or, "Wednesday will be a Special Spectacular Skein Stocking!"
This is where you and the giveaway meet. If you can give me a name that I like for these stockings, I will give you this skein of yarn:
It's Adorn Sock. It will never be seen again after this Awesomely Amazing -- or whatever I end up calling it -- stocking that I'll have in the near future.
Here are some ideas that I have so far:
Serendipity Skeins
Batch of the Day
Yarn du jour
Something along these lines. You leave a comment with a suggestion. If I pick yours, I'll send you the yarn.
To clarify, this isn't a suggestion for the name of the colorway, you're suggesting a name for the ongoing series of stockings I have planned with one of a kind colorways.
I will take suggestions until 7:30 pm Eastern tomorrow, and will choose something tomorrow evening. Feel free to enter as many times as you like, I need all the help I can get.
Help! Creativity will wait for no woman!

Oh but they're so lovely! I want them just to have them, not even to knit them into anything!
So, a few on a theme:
serendipitous skeins
singularly serendipitous skeins
Sharon's singularly serendipitous skeins
Not that I like the letter S at all! But you could do something cool with a logo of it - all entwined, like the yarn itself maybe?
Luck of the Irish. Or Luck of TIG
Kismet Colors or Kismet Skeins
Highlander Skeins
("There Can Be Only One")
Serendipity was the first word in my mind, and then you had togo and write it in your post! I think you should do "Serendipity Sundays" where you stock the special skeins on on Sundays - it's a nice weekend treat to look forward to!
