Manos del Uruguay - Silk Blend Gradient

Silk Blend with gradient from Manos del Uruguay is a great heavy blend of merino and silk. It shines beautifully and has no pilling even though it is a wicking yarn.

Manos del Uruguay is a unique fair trade project for the women of Uruguay. The cooperative has existed since 1968, enabling women in rural and poor regions of Uruguay to stay on site and feed their families. The company Manos del Uruguay belongs to the women who work there. Manos del Uruguay yarns are more than just knitting wool, they are support and appreciation in a direct way.

The hand dyed yarns are always dyed in trains of 3 kilos. Each skein is unique and is not like any other.

Therefore, before changing the ball, always knit several rows alternately with the new and the old ball so that no strong transitions are visible.
