DESCRIPTION
A fingering weight yarn spun from superwash merino and nylon, with a soft, springy feel and a smooth twist that shows off both simple stitches and textured patterns really nicely. The hand-dyed colourways are rich and tonal, with gentle shifts that give each skein its own character. Manos del Uruguay is a Uruguayan cooperative that has been supporting women artisans since the 1960s, so there is a real human story behind every skein. It is durable enough for socks but lovely enough for anything you want to show off.
