This wonderful yarn is part of our Manos Alegria 4ply yarn range. 'Manos' 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.
