About the Yarn:
Manos del Uruguay Fino is like a watercolor painting you can wear!
Elegant and refined, Fino combines the softness of merino wool with the luster of silk in a lightweight yarn that’s perfect for heirloom accessories or luxurious garments. Fino features a new dye process that yields complex, subtle, tonal colors.
Here's why we LOVE this yarn:
1. The colors! Manos Del Uruguay is known for their hand-dyed yarns and these are no exception.
2. The sheen and softness of silk, with the crisp stitch definition of wool.
3. It feels good to support women around the world when you buy this yarn. Manos Del Uruguay is a non-profit, fair trade certified company that's been helping rural women earn income for over 40 years.
Note: Each skein is handmade by artisans in Uruguay—you'll find their signature and location on the label. Colors may vary from what is shown and there are no dye lots. Be sure to buy enough yarn for your project at the same time. To blend color variations, alternate between two skeins as you knit or crochet.
