Lighter	Origins: Little Ball of Yarn (75* d)	RE: Origins: Little Ball of Yarn	25 Dec 24
I've found nothing on "little yorkla harlin," but here's an interesting rhyme about the "yellow yorlin" (yellowhammer): Newcastle Weekly Chronicle (Newcastle-on-Tyne) (May 25, 1889), p. 8: "In the writer's schoolboy days, there was a rhyme supposed to be descriptive of the evil propensities of this handsome and harmless bird. It was something to the effect that The yellow yorlin Drinks a drap o' the de'il's bluid every May morning."
