You might have noticed that our shop's brightness meter has been cranked all the way to eleven. Why? Because the joyful skeins from Stitch Together Studio have joined SSYC!
I mean, who doesn't need a neon mini skein set in their life? These are also available on Smooth Sock and Singles, should you want full sized ones of these and dozens of others. Like Dr Teeth & the Electric Mayhem... any fans of The Muppet Show here?
Or you could totally show your love of all things Princess Bride with this luscious purple inspired by Indigo Montoya.
To really appreciate this line, you need to go read all the names of the colors. There are some zany names and the colors that go with them are even more awesome.
Want some mini-skein pattern ideas?
For something that uses one of the 7 skein mini sets plus a full sized skein, Kindled would be great. How I Roll would be great for any of the mini sets or any leftovers from your skeins. Solaris is pretty darn cool too. And so is Beastkeeper. And if you want more mini skein sets go here and here.
Want a chance to win some Stitch Together of your own? I have a skein each of Dr Teeth, Wicked and Toe Jam to give away to three lucky winners (one skein per winner, we will choose who gets what color). Each are the Smooth Sock base. Dr Teeth was the one pictured earlier, Wicked is directly above and Toe Jam below. To be entered in the contest, all you have to do is tell me in the comments below what is your favorite name of any of the colors listed at this link. And I'd love to know if you think the color goes with the name, or if you imagine it differently. You have until noon EST on Wednesday, October 25 to leave one entry. I'll randomly choose the winners and notify via e-mail as usual.
The winners of our last contest were Julie and Terry who have already claimed/received their prizes. Congrats, ladies!
Blue suede is my favorite color name!

Love the name Quill; the colorway itself, though, doesn't seem inherently wrirtly or bookish
Posted by: JBP | October 19, 2017 at 02:21 PM
Smells like teen spirit!
Posted by: Katie Marsh | October 19, 2017 at 02:23 PM
They're all fabulous, but as a dyehard (get it?) fan of the Muppets, I have to go with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
Posted by: Joanne Murphy | October 19, 2017 at 02:23 PM
Drunken Flamingo - pretty accurate!!
Posted by: Lynne Marquardt | October 19, 2017 at 02:26 PM
Love Smelly Jellies!I'm dating myself now, but the colors remind me of the jelly shoes from the 80s! They didn't make my daughter's feet smell nice!! 😊
Posted by: Sheila Parker | October 19, 2017 at 02:30 PM
Don’t we all need Muppets in our lives
Posted by: Fracksmom | October 19, 2017 at 02:33 PM
So many great names, but I think I like Crazy Cat Lady best. I think the color does match the name nicely.
Posted by: Annette_knits | October 19, 2017 at 02:38 PM
I love Rainbow Blip - and the name goes well with the color!
Posted by: Kate | October 19, 2017 at 02:38 PM
Hard to pick just one. Love the names! Will have to go with Smelly Teen Spirit, but Smelly Jellies is a close 2nd!
Posted by: Lucy Kesler | October 19, 2017 at 02:38 PM
Dr. Tooth cracks me up because the way it's pictured the black and white reminds me of classic jack o'lanterns with the teeth cut out and the big open holes next to them. I love the way Grass Stain has just that hint of green spread over the skein.
Posted by: KimW | October 19, 2017 at 02:40 PM
Drunken Flamingo is the best name...and just the right color!
Posted by: Angela Wallace | October 19, 2017 at 02:40 PM
Oh gosh, how do you pick just one??? Indigo Montoya would probably be my absolute first pick
Posted by: Pam Cronholm | October 19, 2017 at 02:40 PM
Lipgloss & Chucks!
Posted by: Joyce Selzer | October 19, 2017 at 02:44 PM
Indigo Montoya has to be the best.
Posted by: MariaR | October 19, 2017 at 02:45 PM
Pixie stick pucker...and you will when you get to the reddish spots here and there.
Posted by: Sandy C | October 19, 2017 at 02:51 PM
I love Crazy Cat Lady! That name is awesome ;)
Posted by: Nicole Acuna | October 19, 2017 at 02:57 PM
Drunken Flamingo is by far my favorite! And the name fits the color so well!
Posted by: Dorothy Davila | October 19, 2017 at 02:58 PM
I love rainbow blip best - and it totally fits!
Posted by: Alexandra | October 19, 2017 at 03:05 PM
Scummy Koi pond! I love the colors and they truly represent the image in my mind of what a scummy Koi pond would look like. Awesome!
Posted by: Stitchmom05 | October 19, 2017 at 03:07 PM
I love them all! The names are great!
My favorite is Crazy Cat Lady... it reminds me of a calico cat!
Posted by: Karen | October 19, 2017 at 03:09 PM
Not my Knitting and Smelly Jellies!!!!!
Posted by: Raquel from Jc | October 19, 2017 at 03:12 PM
I like Crazy Cat Lady. The colorway seems to have orange tabby in its bloodlines!
Posted by: LynneN | October 19, 2017 at 03:14 PM
I think Bertie Botts and Grass Stain are both great names and a good fit for the yarn color.
Posted by: Lara | October 19, 2017 at 03:22 PM
Smooth Peacock is the best!!!!!!
Posted by: Joan | October 19, 2017 at 03:23 PM
Leaf mold perfect name
Posted by: Patsy Coats | October 19, 2017 at 03:24 PM
Love hands off the honey! Great names for her beautiful yarn colors.
Posted by: Sandy officer | October 19, 2017 at 03:27 PM
I love "Crazy Cat Lady," which arrived in the mail today, because I am one.
Posted by: Barb | October 19, 2017 at 03:29 PM
I like scummy koi pond!
Posted by: Sandy officer | October 19, 2017 at 03:30 PM
Rainbow Blip is a great name. The yarn suits the name.
Posted by: Rose Birchall | October 19, 2017 at 03:32 PM
I really like the drunken flamingo. It does a good job of matching the colors of the flamingo.
Posted by: Megan | October 19, 2017 at 03:35 PM
Rainbow Blip! Reminds me of Rainbow Brite:)
Posted by: Anne | October 19, 2017 at 03:43 PM
These names are amazing! My favorite has to be Pixie Stick Pucker. That was my favorite candy as a kid!
Posted by: AW | October 19, 2017 at 03:47 PM
Dark unicorn! The name is spot on!!!
Posted by: Amy DeHart | October 19, 2017 at 03:47 PM

Be still my sweater heart.
Posted by: Lynn | October 19, 2017 at 03:47 PM
Smooth Rainbow Blip. The color definitely matches the name!
Posted by: stacey | October 19, 2017 at 03:55 PM
I like Pixie Stick Pucker & I think the colours are evocative of the name.
Posted by: Donna | October 19, 2017 at 03:57 PM
I really like Tide Pool and think it has the perfect name.
Posted by: Janet D | October 19, 2017 at 03:57 PM
Gah so many good names. Permanent Rose is the best name (book in a YA series) Best color is a toss up between Tide Pool and Dark Unicorn
Posted by: Rachel | October 19, 2017 at 03:58 PM
Since I am one: Crazy Cat Lady
Posted by: PamelaRic | October 19, 2017 at 03:59 PM
Drunken Flamingo tops my list, and it’s spot on! I love it, too!
Posted by: RM Garman | October 19, 2017 at 04:01 PM
I LOVE smooth DR. TEETH! What a great color combination!
Posted by: Irene | October 19, 2017 at 04:02 PM
Neon Smash. Love all the names. And that’s how I pictured Neon Smadh
Posted by: Susan | October 19, 2017 at 04:03 PM
Indigo Montoya is my fav! I think the name is perfect. It makes me think of Inigo Montoya!!
Posted by: Julie Marshall | October 19, 2017 at 04:06 PM
Indigo Montoya.
Posted by: Jane | October 19, 2017 at 04:10 PM
I love snail trail! I collect snail items...I think it fits.
Posted by: reanna | October 19, 2017 at 04:11 PM
My favorite is Smooth Urban Sprawl! Color and name, I have to admit 😁
Posted by: Darcey Denton | October 19, 2017 at 04:17 PM
Dr. Teeth and Indigo Montoya.
Posted by: Luann | October 19, 2017 at 04:20 PM
By all means it totally fits! Smooth Lipgloss and Chucks! Matches my brand new silver Chucks!
Posted by: Cyndi Jimenez | October 19, 2017 at 04:21 PM
Rainbow blip is just amazing and the name perfectly suits the colorway.
Posted by: Keilexandra | October 19, 2017 at 04:21 PM
I love the name Snail Trail! My two little girls love snails, and this colourway is how I would imagine a squashy, yarny snail trail 😊
Posted by: Anna Ridley | October 19, 2017 at 04:21 PM
Shrimp on the Barbie! (I can’t help but say it with an Australian accent!) it’s oerfectly named for the color! Made me giggle a little.
Posted by: Kelli L | October 19, 2017 at 04:23 PM
Neon Smash.
Posted by: Michelle | October 19, 2017 at 04:30 PM
So many great names, it's hard to choose one. So I'll go with a classic - Nevermore.
Posted by: Kat Gatzke | October 19, 2017 at 04:34 PM
Toe jam. You never know What You will find lurking between your toes
Posted by: Ellen Barnett | October 19, 2017 at 04:44 PM
Scummy Koi Pond has got to be the best!
Posted by: Karal | October 19, 2017 at 04:44 PM
Smelly Jellies is a great name!
Posted by: Vicki | October 19, 2017 at 04:45 PM
Love Drunken Flamingo and it definitely fits.
Posted by: Corlene | October 19, 2017 at 04:57 PM
When I saw the color I loved it, but I think the name Toe Jam works! The specks of color make me think of colorful sock lint.
Posted by: Debbie | October 19, 2017 at 05:11 PM
Smooth Leaf Mold is perfectly named and I like it.
Posted by: Linda Scarborough | October 19, 2017 at 05:18 PM
I love Grindylow and Scummy Koi Pond!
Posted by: Cameron | October 19, 2017 at 05:26 PM
Pixie stick pucker
Posted by: Angela Adams | October 19, 2017 at 05:37 PM
Tough one to narrow down. Love the pixie stick pucker.
Posted by: Sheila P | October 19, 2017 at 05:41 PM
Love both Dr Teeth and Indigo Montoya!
Posted by: Sue Hill | October 19, 2017 at 05:48 PM
Smells Like Teen Spirit!
Posted by: Kim | October 19, 2017 at 05:49 PM
I have to pick Smooth Dr. Teeth because I am married to a dentist!
Posted by: Anne Marie | October 19, 2017 at 06:04 PM
I love pixie stix pucker. And yes, it's just like the pixie stix we used to eat! Heck, we still get them in our xmas stockings because they are just so fun to Eat!
Posted by: Alex W. | October 19, 2017 at 06:11 PM
There are definitely a bunch of fun names, which rates high in this knitter's estimation of a yarn. My favorite is probably Lip Gloss and Chucks, but all my Chucks are way brighter than this colorway shows.
Posted by: sprite | October 19, 2017 at 06:16 PM
I love the Smooth Midnight Prophecy. The color definitely matches the name! It's a beautiful deep shade of midnight blue.
Posted by: Nadine Bongio | October 19, 2017 at 06:16 PM
I really like Not My Knitting and Crazy Cat Lady ( I'm currently mom to 4 cats). All the names are great.
Posted by: Bev | October 19, 2017 at 06:21 PM
My favorite name is Smooth Rainbow Blip, love the color way too!
Posted by: Kristin P | October 19, 2017 at 06:22 PM
Crazy Cat Lady is my favorite name. The yarn looks like my calico cat.
Posted by: Gretchen Hofer | October 19, 2017 at 06:29 PM
Crazy Cat Lady does it for me. It doesn't look like either of my cats but it does look like a friend's cat. Great names!
Posted by: Jeanne Bush | October 19, 2017 at 06:49 PM
I like the Colabt Turquoise. The name aptly evokes both colors in the yarn.
Posted by: Nancy | October 19, 2017 at 06:49 PM
Loce Scummy Koi Pond; a perfect name. The skeins are done up exactly right, with the soothing blues and speckles of the Koi Pond and the shocking green scummy bits right next to that!
Posted by: Teri | October 19, 2017 at 07:17 PM
I love Dr Teeth! It actually reminds me more of piano keys than teeth, but I just love that colorway.
Posted by: MaggieH | October 19, 2017 at 07:23 PM
Dr Teeth is my favorite - though I would not think of black and teeth together. I do think it's funny.
Posted by: Pam | October 19, 2017 at 07:24 PM
Lave the colors in ToeJam
Posted by: Alison | October 19, 2017 at 07:32 PM
Drunken Flamingo is great! And the color matches the name!
Posted by: Lee Cockrum | October 19, 2017 at 07:51 PM
Definitely Drunken Flamingo for me too. And yes, it matches - I can just see those flamingos stumbling around on their long legs!
Posted by: Emily | October 19, 2017 at 08:09 PM
They had me with Dr. Teeth but scrolling through Pixie Stick Pucker was right on point!
Posted by: Sue | October 19, 2017 at 08:15 PM
Smelly Jellies reminds me of my 80s youth, and the numerous pairs of jelly shoes I had! (assuming that's the reference!)
Posted by: Lisa | October 19, 2017 at 08:19 PM
My name is indigo montoya you killed my father prepare to die....
Posted by: Diane Smith | October 19, 2017 at 08:20 PM
Not my knitting fits me because I seldom use that color palatte.
Posted by: Lynn Nicholson | October 19, 2017 at 08:22 PM
They are all so pretty but I like the urban sprawl because I don't have any yarn with brown tones.
Posted by: Cindy h. | October 19, 2017 at 08:31 PM
The name fits the colorway perfectly: ST Smooth Silver Tongue
Posted by: Elizabeth | October 19, 2017 at 08:39 PM
I love pixie stick punk!! You just don’t see many blue and greens of that hue together and they’re gorgeous!!
Posted by: Jandre | October 19, 2017 at 08:50 PM
Pixie Stick Pucker is my fav name.
Posted by: Audra | October 19, 2017 at 09:03 PM
Grass Stains is my favorite name because I always had them on my pants as a kid and I love the sock color too even though I see a little sand, sky and asphalt pavement in the colors.
Posted by: Nanci Cartwright | October 19, 2017 at 09:41 PM
I love Grass Stains! Exactly what the knees of all my pants looked like as a kid
Posted by: Linsey | October 19, 2017 at 09:53 PM
Drunken Flamingoes, and yes, most definitely.
Posted by: Carol | October 19, 2017 at 10:14 PM
Smooth windbag speaks to me.. and is soooo descriptive
:)but I think it could have a grey base on it...
Posted by: Steffi | October 19, 2017 at 11:38 PM
Urban Sprawl looks fabulous!
Posted by: Anna | October 19, 2017 at 11:43 PM
Oh my goodness. Dark Unicorn! What a fun name and yes it fits. Crazy cat lady cracks me up too.
Posted by: Wendy Chase | October 20, 2017 at 12:10 AM
Blue suede shoes is a perfect name for that color of blue.
Posted by: knittingdancer | October 20, 2017 at 12:50 AM
well, there are so many great colors and name to go with them, I cracked up at so many, scummy koi pond is going to have to get my vote through, exactly, love that algae with the koi fish spots peeking through , drunken flamingo came in as a close second though......LOL
Posted by: tobey | October 20, 2017 at 01:08 AM
Toe Jam is my favorite! I love the clean, crisp white contrasted with the black and bright speckles. It's about as far from actual "toe jam" as it can be!
Posted by: Dorothy | October 20, 2017 at 02:26 AM
I like Toe Jam - colors seem perfect to me!
Posted by: Laura Gabler | October 20, 2017 at 05:44 AM
They've really got an eye for turning inspiration into color! My fav is Glow Worm, because I had one of those toys as a bitty thing, and it was exactly that soothing shade of green.
Posted by: Caitlin A | October 20, 2017 at 06:33 AM
My favorite is Dr. Teeth.
Posted by: Kathy | October 20, 2017 at 06:35 AM
