The 'Fair Trade' Yarns from...

Manos del Uruguay 

Manos del Uruguay is a cooperative of several hundred artisans in small rural villages who hand spin and hand dye this beautiful wool, and is operated by a non-profit organization to benefit the women directly. 

NB. Buy NOW - before prices rise in the New Year!

Manos del Uruguay is owned by the craftswomen who set up their organization to allow rural women in the country to work locally without the need to leave
their homes to find work elsewhere.

They are grouped into seventeen individual cooperatives; which spin, dye, knit and produce yarns and finished garments for sale throughout the world.

Manos Del Uruguay wools and yarns are all made using natural fibres sourced in South America. 

Each skein of yarn carries a small label individually signed by the woman who made it at Manos del Uruguay!
