Why choose Manos Del Uruguay yarn?

Manos Del Uruguay created their signature colourways through 40 years of experimenting with traditional techniques.

Manos del Uruguay use artisanal processes with small dye lots made in pots heated by wood fire or gas. Their colours are never completely solid but have beautiful nuances and tone variations. To achieve these spectacular space dyed colours they dye each skein up to 6 times. After being dyed their yarns are sun-dried in the back yard.

Each skein is unique and there are no two skeins exactly the same. Each skein is signed by the artisan who lovingly dyed it, and is labelled with the name of her village.

We love the story and ethos of Manos Del Uruguay which is why we had to add them to our range of yarns.
