Meetan indie dyer and indulge in a design with their skeins
The Koc family were born into yarn. Originally from Turkey, the family had been selling yarn for three generations before Emre and Emir Koc founded Urth Yarns in the USA. The business continues to be a family affair, with eight Koc family members working across the business. “There’s a family member in almost every step, from production to marketing,” says Katie Dolgun, a sales executive at Urth Yarns. Though not a member of the family, she spoke to us about the Kocs and their journey as independent yarn dyers.
