Urth Yarns Melting Pot Tank Top Yarn Bundle
We have run out of stock for this item.
Cast on a simple striped tank that takes a turn at the waist through the effective use of short rows to shape an asymmetrical hip. Featuring the beautifully hand-dyed Urth Yarns Uneek DK and Monokrom DK. This quick knit can be worn during the warmer months as is or used as a layering piece in cold weather. It is knit in the round from the bottom up, and short rows are used for shaping. Take care when you are knitting that if/when you start on a new self-striping skein, you plan where you are stopping and starting skeins so the stripes flow harmoniously. As with all of your Urth Yarns purchases, each skein will plant a tree with Trees for the Future.
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.

A Note from the Designer: When switching colors in a self-striping yarn, I normally recommend joining at a point where both skeins are at the same point in the stripe. I do not recommend that with the colors used in the sample, because it meant there was a long portion when the MC and CC were very similar and it obscured the stripe.
