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. The softness & drape of Marina feels lovely next to skin in shawls, scarves or wraps. The single-ply, lace/light fingering weight yarn comes in generous 874 yard skeins, so many projects only need one! Be inspired by the palette of deeply hued tonal & variegated colorways.
