We've added a new line to the shop! I'm really excited about this one because you all know I love a good striping yarn. And Urth Yarns does striping SO WELL.
Color 51
I mean, look at all these colors in their Sock Kits! I love how they look like you're using two gradient balls of yarn and striping them together every inch or so. It's like they did all the work for me!
Color 60
For the Sock Kits, they come as two matching 50g center pull cakes of yarn. So you get two matching socks!
And I've already finished one SIZE 13 sock (and half of the second sock) in color 57 above and I still had yarn left over. Now, only about 10 yards, but still. I was able to knit a 6.5 inch leg and a size 13 foot (using a US 1.5 for the leg and a US 1 for the foot) and had enough yarn to make a gorgeous project.
In addition to the Sock Kits, we also have full sized skeins of Uneek fingering weight like shown above. Now I just have to figure out what I want to knit next. Another pair of socks? Or perhaps a stripey Sockhead Cowl in one of these that have a more random striped look to them.
Urth has provided pictures of how their stripes knit up, which is super awesome. But do keep in mind that the pictures of the actual balls and skeins are the ones that I take myself and are accurate to the coloration. Afterall, these are hand dyed and there can be differences between batches (which is why I always take fresh pics when needed). But the knit up sample photos don't change, so those are more to show you how the yarn knits up pattern wise, not for exact tint. Make sense?
Want to knit a nice stripey cowl along with me? I'm giving away a skein of Urth Fingering to one lucky winner (check Instagram and Facebook for another chance to win). All you have to do is tell me in the comments below what color you'd choose. One comment please, by noon EST this Sunday March 15.
3012 is the one I’d choose, but too bad they don’t have fun names for their colours.

They are all gorgeous but I think 3002 has all the colors I love right now
Posted by: Lisa Smith | March 05, 2020 at 11:23 AM
Beautiful yarn...if I win, I would pick #2003. Love the colors.
Posted by: Marla ford | March 05, 2020 at 11:30 AM
I've been wanting to make the butterfly cowl by Marin Melchior - I think I would choose colorway 3003
Posted by: mellenknits | March 05, 2020 at 11:31 AM
3017 is beautiful!!
Posted by: Christine | March 05, 2020 at 11:43 AM
This yarn looks like so much fun to knit. Colorway 3010 screams spring to me!
Posted by: Becky | March 05, 2020 at 11:43 AM
I'd love to knit one of Marin Melchior's patterns with colorway 3010.
Posted by: Susie | March 05, 2020 at 11:47 AM
Colorway 3005 would make my neck very happy!
Posted by: JoAnne | March 05, 2020 at 11:50 AM
I'm liking #3004. I've knitted a couple of scarves with their cotton yarn and really like them.
Posted by: Beverly J White | March 05, 2020 at 11:52 AM
How does one even choose?! 3008
Posted by: Nicole | March 05, 2020 at 11:58 AM
Probably 3012!
Posted by: Michelle | March 05, 2020 at 12:33 PM
I think 3001!
Posted by: Kate Greenwood | March 05, 2020 at 12:39 PM
I love the bright vivid colors of 3003.
Posted by: Jeanne | March 05, 2020 at 12:55 PM
Wow! They are beautiful. 3020 is my fave. :)
Posted by: Pat | March 05, 2020 at 01:14 PM
I like 3004 because it looks like a rainbow.
Posted by: Nancy | March 05, 2020 at 01:17 PM
I like the sock Kit #64 and I like it so much that I am placing an order as soon as I post this comment.
Posted by: Susan | March 05, 2020 at 01:52 PM
I like 3012!
Posted by: Sarah D | March 05, 2020 at 01:53 PM
I’d choose color #3003. It just jumped off the screen & said BUY ME!
Posted by: Donna | March 05, 2020 at 01:55 PM
Color 51.
Posted by: Cara | March 05, 2020 at 02:04 PM
3002 (and kit 61) are the most appealing to me right now. When I saw this on your instagram I assumed it was alternating yarns!
Posted by: Alison | March 05, 2020 at 02:10 PM
I love them all but I would go with 3010!
Posted by: Brandy | March 05, 2020 at 03:09 PM
3019.
And I just LOVE being able to see the knitted-up swatch. That extra effort by the yarn producer is so appreciated.
Posted by: Carol | March 05, 2020 at 03:09 PM
3018 :)
Posted by: Kristi Petersen | March 05, 2020 at 03:09 PM
I'd make a beautiful pair of socks with 3005!
Posted by: Diane N | March 05, 2020 at 03:10 PM
Any color!!! I have knitted this yarn into 7 pairs this past year!!! I love this yarn so much. This is potato chip knitting at it’s best. 4 or 5 rows and you’re in the next stripe. And did I mention how very nice feeling this yarn is? Uber great in the hands, washes beautifully in the machine and (heaven forbid) it does great in an ultra low dryer too.
Posted by: Cindy Carpenter | March 05, 2020 at 03:10 PM
Hi there. Thanks for the chance to win. I’d love colour way 3012 if I win.
Posted by: Lorraine MacLennan | March 05, 2020 at 03:12 PM
Yes I'm in for knitting up the Sockhead Cowl! I'm loving #3019 and would really like to cast on with you!
Posted by: Carolyn B | March 05, 2020 at 03:12 PM
I like 64.
Posted by: Julie Olsen | March 05, 2020 at 03:13 PM
Ooh pretty!! I’d love to win 3005 or 3003. And I love the dock kit #64. Thanks!!
Posted by: Martha W | March 05, 2020 at 03:24 PM
I love them all! I can’t pick!
Posted by: Kelli L | March 05, 2020 at 03:25 PM
Color 51 for me!
Posted by: Winifred Keeble | March 05, 2020 at 03:30 PM
I love 3010. I love this yarn!!
Posted by: BJ King | March 05, 2020 at 03:33 PM
What a beautiful array of yarns but the 3003 is what caught my eye.
Thank you.
Posted by: Maureen | March 05, 2020 at 03:33 PM
They are all beautiful, but I’d go with 3012. I love a good purple-green combo.
Posted by: Megan | March 05, 2020 at 03:38 PM
I like color 3005 best, but they are all yummy!
Posted by: Karen Mccleary | March 05, 2020 at 04:03 PM
3019 please and thank you 💋🌸
Posted by: Theresa Burney | March 05, 2020 at 04:04 PM
Today 3012
Posted by: Diane | March 05, 2020 at 04:09 PM
3008 for me, please!
Posted by: Teri | March 05, 2020 at 04:16 PM
I would make a pair of socks from color 60.
Posted by: Betsy Heald | March 05, 2020 at 04:25 PM
I love 3003 ❤️
Posted by: Susan Kirkland | March 05, 2020 at 04:27 PM
Color 3010 looks like some very gorgeous colors.
Posted by: Joann | March 05, 2020 at 04:38 PM
I like them all, but I think 3008 is calling to me!
Posted by: Anne | March 05, 2020 at 04:41 PM
I think 54 is my favorite...it looks like fun!
Posted by: Marilyn | March 05, 2020 at 04:57 PM
3002...can't imagine how it would knit up, but that the fun!
Posted by: Alberta | March 05, 2020 at 05:02 PM
Oh boy, 3003 has my name written all over it!! Such gorgeous colors!
Posted by: Leann Demeduk | March 05, 2020 at 05:09 PM
No. 64 it's blue of course.
Posted by: Marie Saur | March 05, 2020 at 05:12 PM
I love 61.
Posted by: Brenna Delosier | March 05, 2020 at 05:21 PM
I think I’d like 3010. But it was hard to choose! Thanks for the contest!
Posted by: Jan | March 05, 2020 at 05:41 PM
3004 is my favorite-I LOVE THE BRIGHT COLORS!!
Posted by: Mary Terpstra | March 05, 2020 at 05:51 PM
Feeling a little blue...how about 3003? Although I really love them all!
Posted by: Julie | March 05, 2020 at 05:56 PM
Color 57 for my husband!
Posted by: Daphne McDonald | March 05, 2020 at 06:12 PM
Lovely yarn. Like Urth Uneek Fingering 3003
Posted by: Elizabeth SanMiguel | March 05, 2020 at 06:15 PM
Color 3003 is so vibrant and beautiful! Love it!!
Posted by: Jody Laake | March 05, 2020 at 06:19 PM
I’d choose color 51.
Posted by: Sherri Hendricks | March 05, 2020 at 06:23 PM
I would choose color 3001.
Posted by: yolanda | March 05, 2020 at 06:37 PM
3006 would make a wonderful cowl!
Posted by: Merna | March 05, 2020 at 06:42 PM
Too many good colors to choose just one but if I have to I like 3013 best. It reminds me of the colors I find in my flower garden in the summer.
Posted by: June Schwierjohn | March 05, 2020 at 06:56 PM
3004, I love the rainbow!
Posted by: Jessica | March 05, 2020 at 07:01 PM
Love 3004.
Posted by: DIane MacMillan | March 05, 2020 at 07:01 PM
I would choose 3008 because I love the rich gold tones. But I love them all!
Posted by: Janet Miller | March 05, 2020 at 07:01 PM
I love the sock kit 60. I make me socks and the leftover yarn makes a pair of socks for my little granddaughter. We both love happy colors
Posted by: Frances Graff | March 05, 2020 at 07:06 PM
I love color 60!!!!
Posted by: Kate s | March 05, 2020 at 07:25 PM
I like color 3012.
Posted by: Lynn | March 05, 2020 at 08:29 PM
Color 3005 would be my pick. These are beautiful colorways, but I'm a pushover for reds, pinks, blues, and purples.
Posted by: Martina | March 05, 2020 at 08:37 PM
Such beautiful colors! I would love to use 3019 in a project.
Posted by: Cathy | March 05, 2020 at 08:46 PM
Would love color 61 or 3020!
Posted by: Kim Witherow | March 05, 2020 at 08:57 PM
Color #3003 is my favorite. Love the sock kits, too!!
Posted by: Wendy | March 05, 2020 at 09:00 PM
I LOVE color 60, the wilder the better, and it’s bright. I think I’m getting the kit, what fun...
Posted by: Mari | March 06, 2020 at 12:24 AM
Sock kit 64
Posted by: Patsy Coats | March 06, 2020 at 04:54 AM
I'd choose 3012 - great colours!
Posted by: Amanda | March 06, 2020 at 05:35 AM
3010 for me! They are all gorgeous!
Posted by: Shelly | March 06, 2020 at 06:35 AM
I love colors in sock kit 64 -- and the colors fit my retired lifestyle. I like wearing "blue denim" socks with my jeans and I think this yarn will cover all the different shades of denim jeans I have. Won't have to check all the blue denim socks in my sock drawer! Beautiful
Posted by: Diana Morris | March 06, 2020 at 06:42 AM
I love color 3003!!!
Posted by: Dana Snyder | March 06, 2020 at 06:55 AM
I would choose 3003 for my cowl...gorgeous!
Posted by: Laurie Bowman | March 06, 2020 at 07:29 AM
Well, that is no easy choice! I’d be happy with any of them. But you asked for a choice, so let’s say 3010.
Posted by: ElizabethD | March 06, 2020 at 07:41 AM
I follow the temptress! 3018 but I’d be happy with any one.
Posted by: Vicens.allise@gmail.com | March 06, 2020 at 08:02 AM
I really like the sock # 3020...all of them are nice!!!!
Posted by: jeanne | March 06, 2020 at 08:40 AM
So hard to choose but sock kit 61 keeps yelling at me. Thanks for the giveaway
Posted by: Debra | March 06, 2020 at 09:48 AM
Hard to choose between so many beautiful colorways. That said...#3019.
Posted by: Angeluna | March 06, 2020 at 10:56 AM
Sock kit 64, please!
Posted by: Nancy | March 06, 2020 at 11:18 AM
3005 doesn't sound very sexy, but it's the one I like!
Posted by: Melissa | March 06, 2020 at 01:09 PM
I think it would be Urth 3012. But all the colorways have such promise!
Posted by: Enid | March 06, 2020 at 02:10 PM
color 3009 is calling me!!!!
Posted by: Susie | March 06, 2020 at 02:29 PM

3004 looks like a straight up rainbow - my fave!
Posted by: Rachel R. | March 14, 2020 at 05:01 PM
3010 is my favorite! I’m itching to try my first pair of socks!
Posted by: Kathleen Nichols | March 14, 2020 at 05:06 PM
