A Yarn with a Story
Uneek DK is part of the Urth Yarns Uneek collection, a celebration of colour, craftsmanship and creativity. Every skein journeys through four self-striping sequences, transitioning smoothly through hand-dyed hues that add movement and depth to any pattern.
Spun from non-mulesed extrafine merino and hand-dyed in small batches in Türkiye, Uneek DK carries both luxury and heart. It’s a yarn that surprises, delights and supports reforestation through Urth’s Knit One, Plant One program, where every skein sold plants a tree in Africa.
