About the Yarn:
Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend is one of those yarns that grabs you from across the shop and says, "Take me home."
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.
This yarn pairs well with it's variegated sister, Manos Del Uruguay Silk Blend Space-Dyed.
