Why you'll love it

Urth Yarns Trill is a superwash merino and linen blend with a rustic, tweedy look and a lovely natural drape. The linen brings breathability and structure, making it a wonderful yarn for the in-between seasons – and it softens beautifully the more you wear it.

Trill is hand dyed in Turkey in a palette inspired by birds, from Cardinal red and Goldfinch yellow to Mallard green and Raven black. It sings in lightweight garments and accessories, and pairs beautifully with the gradient marls of Urth Yarns Spiral Grain Sport. The combination of linen and merino gives a beautifully heathered look to the yarn.

A little extra care will help your projects last. Urth Yarns are machine washable on a cool, delicate cycle, but hand washing in cold water with a little wool wash is recommended. Lay flat to dry and never use a dryer. Washing your gauge swatch is a good idea, especially with darker or more saturated colours.

This is a hand dyed yarn and each skein is unique. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when you work with it.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.

About

Urth Yarns

The name comes from Urth Caffe, a Los Angeles café one of the founders can't stay away from. He wanted a brand that gave something back to the earth, and there the name was, already waiting.

Every collection is hand-dyed in Turkey, in the brand's own studios in Mersin and Istanbul – crafted meticulously by the hands of talented women. One range is coloured with nothing but fruits, nuts and roots: pomegranate shells, acorns, grape leaves, boiled up in cauldrons and stirred like soup until the water gives up its colour. A portion of every sale goes to Trees for the Future, planting forest gardens on worn-out land in Africa.

Because they dye in small batches, dye lots can't be tracked – so grab everything for your project in one go. Nothing in nature is perfect, and yet everything is: that's the spirit they dye in.
