We are so excited to welcome Emre Koc, President & Co-Founder of Urth Yarns, back to our shop. He is in the US for Vogue Knitting Live and has offered to travel to Saratoga to spend time with us. Let's make him feel welcomed!
The fine merino wool and self-striping colors of Urth Yarns, especially the Uneek Fingering, has been a favorite among our customers for years. Emre will display garments and patterns, introduce a new yarn that will soon be available and answer your questions about his family, his company and the yarn we love. Refreshments will be served.
Emre is a third generation yarn wholesaler. His grandfather started a company in the 1950s which became one of Turkey’s most well-known yarn brands. Urth Yarns was founded in 2017 to give back to people and the Earth. Urth Yarns plants a tree for every skein of yarn sold. They are proud to announce that they have planted over 200,000 trees in Africa.
