Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica
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. This single-ply, heritage yarn gives knit garments, accessories & home decor a casual, rustic luxe appearance.

Artisan hand-dyed yarns have natural color variations from skein to skein. Our team will do their best to choose the best matching skeins for your order. Here are some tips to get the best results when knitting with hand-dyed yarns:
- Purchase enough yarn for your entire project
- Alternate skeins by knitting two rows from one skein, then two rows from another skein. This will help to blend color differences.
Please contact our customer service team with any questions or concerns about working with hand-dyed yarns.
