Manos del Uruguay Wool
About Manos ~ Manos Patterns
Manos del Uruguay Manos del Uruguay is put up in 100-gram skeins, each of which has approximately 137 yards. It's 100% wool (a blend of Corriedale and Merino). It knits to a gauge of about 4 sts per inch on a US #9 needle for sweaters and hats and so forth; 3.5 sts per inch on a #10 is also good for scarves. The large bales you see in some of our photos are "kilos," bundles of 10 skeins as they're shipped to us from Fairmount Fibers, the U.S. distributor. We open them as we need to: you're welcome to a kilo, but you're also welcome to 1 skein or 3 or however many your project requires. The solid colors are $13.00 (plus $1 shipping), the multis are $15.00 (same shipping), and the way to tell whether a color is officially "solid" or "multi" is by number: numbers over 100 are multis; numbers below 100, and letters, are solids. Lastly, please note the colors marked with an asterisk on the color cards. These colors are particularly unpredictable. They're basically neutral, taupe-to-brown shades, but on any given day they can be streaked with lots of pink, lots of green, or both.
