- 16 Fingering from Urth Yarns is the softest yarn that Urth has made to date. In addition, it is very drapey which makes it the perfect yarn to use when knitting or crocheting shawls, cowls, garments and more.
This fingering weight yarn is made from 100% extrafine Merino Wool and the reason for its softness is its extra-fine micron count. At 16 microns, this is among the lowest micron count you will find in 100% merino wool.
The tones and colours of this hand dyed yarn make it a pleasure to work with and wear.

Urth Yarns is a family owned yarn company specialising in hand dyed natural yarns. They value the time and emotional investment that go into hand crafting; therefore appreciate your demand for a comforting feel and yummy colours. Developing and employing innovative dyeing techniques, their aim is for a love at first sight or touch, every time.
Mass production made us forget how to use our hands and bring out our individuality. Human touch makes all the difference. 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!
All of Urth yarns are dyed and prepared by skilled hands of women at their studios in Mersin and Istanbul. Through their extensive sample knitting program, they try to keep busy as many hands as we can.
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.

“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.”
