IT HAS ARRIVED!

The Urth Uneek fingering weight hand-dyed yarns is here. This is an extrafine superwash merino with nylon.  What is remarkable is that this self-striping patterning is from hand-dyed yarn! The colors are beautiful, rich jewel tones that really don't come across on a computer screen. The hand on this yarn is very silky-soft.

I got it for socks:

but it can be used for shawls:


It does knit with an interesting pattern when just knit:


The yarn is sold in skeins of 435 yards and is knit on 1 - 3 US with a gauge of 7 - 8 sts/inch.


This really is a beautiful yarn to see and touch. I am really excited about this new product.
