Marina is a 100% Superwash Merino hand-dyed Lace weight yarn. These colors are AMAZING! Marina's softness and drape feel wonderful next to the skin in scarves or shawls. It comes in tonal and space-dyed colorways and is made of superwash merino, which gives the colors beautiful depth. With 874 yards per skein, most projects only need one!

The Manos Cooperatives were founded in 1968, begun by five women whose goal was to develop economic opportunities for women in a country where there were, and are still, few opportunities for work. The Manos Cooperatives provide health insurance, retirement pensions, paid vacations and paid maternity leave for their members. Moreover, members enjoy a sense of achievement and of self-determination. In addition to creating yarns for handcrafters, the Manos Cooperatives have continued to produce ready-to-wear pieces for designers and department stores such as Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Nordstrom’s, and Sak’s. Today, the Manos Cooperatives number 17 cooperatives that employ 350 artisans. Manos del Uruguay has been a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) since 2009
