One of the many reasons for the uniqueness of the yarn made by Manos del Uruguay is the many beautiful colours and heathering. All their yarn is hand-dyed in the most stunning nuances and variations. Therefore, every single skein is unique. The secret herein lies in the small lots of yarn being dyed in wood-fired kettles. Factors like the local water, the weather as well as the time of year all contribute in the creation of the exquisite nuances.
