Manos del Uruguay | 8 Ply Silk Merino Blend Yarn 50g | Juniper

Silk Blend is an exciting, singly ply yarn combining the exceptional softness of extra fine merino with the subtle glow of raw Tussah silk. Silk blend comes in a range of amazing colours from bold self striping colourways through to fluoro pinks, neon greens, vibrant blues and subtle muted colours.

Silk Blend knits up cleanly with excellent stitch definition, making it ideal for showcasing textured patterns or simple stitches alike. 

Manos Silk Blend is hand dyed by women artisans in Manos del Uruguay cooperatives in the Uruguayan countryside, supporting fair trade practices and sustainable livelihoods.

Suggested uses: We can't get enough of Silk Blend crochet granny squares, but it's also an excellent choice for any knit or crochet shawls, wraps, lightweight sweaters, cowls, mittens or hats. Pair your favourite base colour with a box of Silk Blend Miniskeins for some snazzy colourwork!
