Description

This wonderful yarn was created in to provide jobs for women in their rural hometowns in Uruguay allowing them to provide for their families and be independent while staying in their home villages and keeping their roots and traditional skills. As a result of this, Manos was made a member of the World Fair Trade Organisation in 2009. They spin and dye their yarns in cooperatives located in the small towns in Uruguay's countryside.

Each Manos skein has a tag with the name of the artisan who made it and the cooperative location. They are hand dyed to produce a rich colour palette with the subtle irregularities which the hand of each artisan gives to it.

Gorgeous yarn.

I bought two skeins of this gorgeous yarn to make two cowls-fingers crossed they are completed for Christmas. The yarn is so soft and the colours are perfect. They arrived quickly and beautifully packed. I’m so tempted to buy some more!! 🙂

This is a really lovely wool. It just slides along the needles when knitting and gives excellent stitch definition. I love the colours, also the weight and drape of finished garment .
