Urth Yarns

Urth Yarns is a family-run company with studios in Mersin and Istanbul, Turkey. Their yarns are hand-dyed by women artisans, and their colors draw on the history and landscapes of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent.

Urth is best known for its tree-planting promise. Every skein sold plants a tree through their partnership with Trees for the Future. Their motto is simple: knit one, plant one.

The Urth line spans extrafine merino, cotton and cashmere. Uneek is their famous self-striping merino. The Harvest line is hand-dyed with fruits, nuts and roots for rich, earthy shades.

At Icon we carry Uneek, Spiral Grain and Bonmoher, plus Uneek sock kits with everything you need for a pair.
