Manos del Uruguay Serpentina
Manos del Uruguay is a special brand of hand spun & dyed artisan yarns that supports rural Uruguayan women. Manos is a non-profit organization that was founded to give women jobs, allowing them to be independent & support their families while being able to live in their home villages.
Named after accomplished women throughout history, thick & thin Serpentina is as unique as the women who inspired the yarn. Hand-painted Merino tops are handspun into a gorgeous yarn that knits up quickly & feels amazing against skin. Wonderful for hats, mittens, cowls & scarves.

Artisan hand-dyed yarns have natural color variations from skein to skein. Our team will do their best to choose the best matching skeins for your order. Here are some tips to get the best results when knitting with hand-dyed yarns:
- Purchase enough yarn for your entire project
- Alternate skeins by knitting two rows from one skein, then two rows from another skein. This will help to blend color differences.
Please contact our customer service team with any questions or concerns about working with hand-dyed yarns.
