Manos del Uruguay - Fino

Fino from Manos del Uruguay is the thinner counterpart of Silk Blend. It is a non-twisted wicking yarn of merino and silk. The color palette is a soft semi-solid blend. Fino is particularly well suited for fine tops or warming scarves and shawls.

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.
