This season-spanning blend of pima cotton and baby alpaca has fantastic drape for scarves, wraps, cardigans, and summer tops. The fiber blend and our kettle-dyeing process give the colors a heathered, stonewashed look. Although it's labelled as a sport- to dk-weight yarn, Serena's gauge is very versatile, from 4 1/2 sts per inch all the way to 7.
Manos del Uruguay Serena Semi Solid is a luxurious, season-spanning blend of super-soft baby alpaca and pima cotton in a sport weight. Serena is hand-dyed to create a marbleized, subtly striated effect that comes in a rich palette of glorious colors. No two skeins are exactly alike and there are no dye lots, so it's recommended to buy enough yarn at one time to complete your project.
Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations in colors that are natural and may vary from skein to skein. There may be differences between pictures shown and the yarn you receive. To ensure the best results for your project:
- Buy enough yarn for your entire project at one time.
- When using hand-dyed yarn in your project work two rows from one skein and two rows from another skein to give an overall blended effect.
Manos Marina is a Manos del Uruguay yarn, which is produced by a Fair Trade, not for profit organisation aimed at providing jobs for women in rural areas in Uruguay. The women spin and dye the yarns and every skein includes the name of the artisan who made it. The wool is local and the dyes are made in small pots heated by wood or gas. It’s a sustainable process and means that the artisans are able to provide for their families without having to move to the larger cities.
