Manos del Uruguay is a special brand of hand-spun & dyed artisan yarns that supports rural Uruguayan women. Manos is a non-profit organization that was founded to give women jobs, allowing them to be independent & support their families while being able to live in their home villages. Wool Clasica is a sturdy yarn hand-spun from the fleece of Corriedale sheep that pasture in Uruguay. One of the most charming qualities of this yarn is the beautiful texture that is delivered due to the "thick & thin" nature of the yarn.
