Urth Yarns Boat Neck Tee Kit

Enjoy calming waves of hand-dyed color as you knit with this uniquely self-striping yarn, and create a comfortable easy-to-wear warm-weather top. The stitch pattern of this tee was inspired by the rails on a ferry boat, and paired with its classic boat neck, this top is sure to bring a little bit of summertime happiness into your knitting queue.

Knit with Urth Yarns' Uneek Cotton, the fabric of this shirt will be 100% cotton and be comfortable to wear in the summer heat. Each skein is hand-dyed in Turkey to produce vibrant shades that self stripe in your finished project. 

Like all of Urth Yarn's hand-dyed masterpieces, every skein is unique! Also, every digital screen is calibrated differently. Slight variations in tone and saturation will vary from screen to screen. The actual color of your item may vary slightly from what you see on your screen.
