Powder River
I love this name that Jill chose and the image of the train tracks. As travel lovers, we have fun looking at maps to choose locations or inspiration for names. This one needed to connect to Wyoming, where the yarn is being made (and where we love to visit--we've learned so much there!).
Powder suggests soft and we'll talk more about the other connections we see when we reveal more about the yarn. Enough for now to have the name.
