# Morbidly Named Yarns These Homemade Yarns Are Luxe and Unusually Named By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-07-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homemade-yarn References: [boredpanda](http://www.boredpanda.com/funny-color-names-dye-for-yarn/) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/people/DyeForYarn) These [homemade yarns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macmahon-knitting-mills-and-beams) come in beautiful colors and with strange names. Created by Nicole and Cordula from Germany and sold on the etsy shop 'DyeForYarn,' these yarns are made from [silk, cashmere, wool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wren) or a combination of the three. The homemade yarn comes in a variety of colors including solids as well as various blends that give off a multi-tinted effect. The most unique quality of these materials is not their color or quality, but the way they are named. The yarns have names such as "[poisoned blood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-of-death-lip-oils), rotten pistachio cream macaroon, rain in a graveyard, drunken acorn bloom and bat in a dark mood." The yarns' unusual names make them stand out in a large market that provides the same or similar materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Unconventional Naming:** There is an opportunity for companies to differentiate their products in crowded markets by giving them unusual and memorable names. - **Luxury Yarns:** The growing popularity of luxury and designer yarns presents an opportunity for companies to create high-end products for discerning customers. - **Color Variety:** As customers continue to seek out unique and customizable products, there is an opportunity for companies to offer a wide variety of colors for yarns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Crafts and Hobbies:** Companies in the crafts and hobbies industry can capitalize on the trend of high-end and customized yarns by offering unique and luxurious products. - **Fashion and Apparel:** As designers continue to push the boundaries of fashion and textile design, there is an opportunity for the fashion and apparel industry to incorporate unique and unconventional yarns into their collections. - **E-commerce:** The rise of e-commerce provides an opportunity for niche companies like DyeForYarn to gain wider exposure and reach a larger audience with their unconventional and high-quality products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Crochet Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-collection.md) - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Offbeat Bath Bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-bomb-extreme.md) - [Soufflé Yarn Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn.md) - [Spooky String Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strings-things-scarestrings.md) - [Luxe Cotton Candy Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-sucre.md) - [Timeless Literary-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immortal-perfumes.md) - [Macabre Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-shops.md)
