Manos del Uruguay is a non-profit organization, owned and run by rural women, that has worked for over 40 years to provide economic opportunity as well as beautiful handspun (Wool Clasica) and hand-dyed yarns. Manos is a member of the International Fair Trade Organization. Over 400 women spin, dye and prepare the yarn for local use and export. The lable on your yarn is signed by the co-op member who dyed it. The colors are rich and the kettle dying results in subtly striated colors.

Annelle has carried Manos for 9 years and our customers appreciate the quality of the yarn and the mission of the Manos organization. Karen Moreland, who has been with MYS since we opened in 2001, designed this great Unisex Hat [pattern pdf] especially for Manos del Uruguay's wool yarn. It is reversible!

Happy knitting, Annelle

"Jennifer's Jacket" in Frog Tree Merino Melange Pattern FT-158 ($6). colors

Knitted in Merino Melange 11 to 15 sk / sizes 36 - 52". This pattern incorporates cables into a seed stitch background. The yarn feels like a soft mousse. I saw this jacket at the Needle Arts show in January and it is beautiful, but it's not a beginner's project.
