Alegria Grande by Manos Del Uruguay


If you love Alegria, you’ll love Alegria Grande. This is a worsted weight version of their delicious superwash and polyamide yarn base. Available in both semi-solid and space-dyed colors.

Yardage: Approx. 197 yds / 180 mts per 3.5 oz / 100g

Gauge: 18 - 20 sts = 4" / 10 cm

Needle Size: US 6 - 8 / 4 - 5mm

Care Instructions: Machine wash or hand wash in cool water. Dry flat.

 

Some Talking Points:

Manos yarns are produced by skilled artisans in cooperatives located throughout Uruguay.

Each skein of yarn purchased helps a woman in Uruguay to support her family.

Bonus points for GREAT photography!

Each skein is signed by the artisan so that you know who made your yarn and which village it came from.

Manos yarn and fiber is certified Fair Trade.
