We are delighted to welcome Manos del Uruguay Serena back to the shop, along with a trunk show of designs from the Manos and Fairmount Fibers team! Like all Manos yarns, Serena is produced by a a fair trade cooperative in South America. This yarn is a blend of baby alpaca and pima cotton, making it a wonderful all season yarn for everything from scarves and wraps to summer tops. (And it is wool free for those with a lanolin allergy!) Due to the fiber blend and their kettle-dyeing process, each skein will have a heathered and stonewashed look. Try it out as a fingering, sport or even DK weight – it is quite versatile!
Here are the designs that you can see in the shop right now:
