About this product
Marina's softness and drape feel wonderful next to the skin in scarves or shawls. It comes in tonal and space-dyed colorways and is made of superwash merino, which gives the colors beautiful depth. With 874 yards per skein, most projects only need one!
Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each skein may vary one from the other. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball. 50g Mini Skeins also available! For Ball Winding services, click here.

About Manos del Uruguay: Manos del Uruguay was founded to give Uruguay's rural women jobs, income, and the opportunity to personally develop and gain independence while keeping their roots and traditions. The company encourages women to stay close to their community and families with 12 cooperatives in a small village in the Uruguayan countryside. The artisans are the owners of this cooperative, too.
All of the yarns are hand-dyed by artisans using big pots heated by wood kettles, dyed in small batches to create wonderful colors. The yarn colors are bright and wild, full of nuances and variations. No two skeins are the same, and each one is unique.
