The Brand

We love this classic Andrea Mowry pattern so much, we've made it several times.

This cowl is the perfect all-the-time accessory! And the answer for all of those knitters out there who love to knit shawls, but have a hard time styling them. A fun and engaging knit with shifting colours, that looks like an asymmetrical triangle shawl, and it only takes a fiddle-free second to throw it on as the finish to every outfit!

Spiral Grain is spun from 100% Merino with a micron count of 19 - which means it's very soft, and beautifully smooth!

This yarn works up into long gradients and/or stripes of colour, as opposed to the short repeats from a variegated yarn. Colours will shift, marl, barber pole and shift back again. No pooling!

Each Kit has been carefully curated by us to ensure that you have the right balance of contrast, and cohesion between the skeins. But if you fancy creating your own unique 3-skein combo, pick from 20 amazing colourways, and just add the pattern below!

about urth

REMEMBER WHEN YOU FIRST HELD OUR YARN? THAT IS WHEN WE SHOOK HANDS.

Urth Yarns is a family owned yarn company specializing in hand dyed natural yarns. We value the time and emotional investment that go into hand knitting; therefore appreciate your demand for a stimulative feel and yummy colors. Developing and employing innovative dyeing techniques, we aim for a love at first sight or touch, every time.

LET'S SHOW MACHINES WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM!

Mass production made us forget how to use our hands and bring out the individuality about ourselves. Human touch makes all the differen
ce. Knitting and crocheting are good for the body, the mind but also for the earth as a means of sustainable clothing production. Raise your needles and hooks if you are with us!

WOMAN POWER

Our yarns are dyed and prepared by skilled hands of women at our studios in Mersin and Istanbul.

TREES FOR THE FUTURE

Now is the time to give back. We are happy to let you know that knitting is just another way to keep the earth green. Every skein of Urth Yarns plants a tree. Join us in helping Trees for the Future in their mission to provide families with tools and knowledge to plant trees in Africa. For more information, visit our "Trees" page.

"Planting trees provides families with more than just food. It provides income, empowerment, unity, leadership, education and even saves lives. When we can teach people to value themselves and their environment, they see amazing improvements in their standard of living."

Inspiration is everywhere and we draw ours from the local landscape, people, flora and fauna, as well as contemporary fashion and international trends. "
