Manos del Uruguay Alegria
£22.40
Manos del Uruguay Alegria is a fingering-weight yarn known for softness and practicality. Made from 75% superwash Merino wool and 25% polyamide (nylon), it feels cushioned and comfortable. It is machine-washable and holds up well to regular use.
The yarn is hand-painted in small batches by artisans in Uruguay, giving each skein unique, subtle colour shifts. This hand-dyed quality adds depth and movement to projects, whether you're knitting socks, shawls, lightweight sweaters, or baby garments. "Alegria" means "joy" in Spanish, reflecting both the lively colours and careful production behind each skein.
