16 Worsted by Urth Yarns is an ultra-soft, worsted-weight yarn spun from 100% superwash extrafine Merino wool, named for its luxurious 16-micron fiber. Hand-dyed in richly tonal colorways, this yarn combines stunning depth with impeccable stitch definition thanks to its tight, round ply.
Perfect for sweaters, scarves, hats, and cozy accessories, 16 Worsted offers incredible versatility and durability. Whether you're showcasing cables, colorwork, or simple stockinette, this yarn adds polish and refinement to any project. Each skein reflects the artisanal quality and commitment to ethical craftsmanship that Urth Yarns is known for.
Urth Yarns is a family-owned company based in Turkey, known for their richly hued, hand-dyed yarns created in studios in Istanbul and Mersin. Their mission combines ethical production, support for women artisans, and sustainability. Through a partnership with Trees for the Future, a tree is planted for every skein sold, making each project a contribution to reforestation.
Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations that cause colors to vary from skein to skein. As this is a natural part of the process, please note there may be differences between the yarn images shown and the yarn received. To counteract this, we encourage all crafters to buy enough yarn for their entire project simultaneously.
