Manos del Uruguay Lace
Manos Lace is an opulent blend of baby alpaca, silk, and a touch of cashmere, for your finest heirloom lace projects. With 439 yards, you could get a lovely shawlette, or use two skeins to create a wonderful lace shawl.
Hand dyed in large kettles to create a marbleized, subtly striated effect that forms a rich palette of glorious colors. No two skeins are exactly alike and there are no dye lots. Colors may vary greatly.
We recommend buying enough yarn to complete a project. If there is great difference between skeins, we recommend working two rows from one skein and two rows from another skein to give an overall blended effect. Made in Uruguay.

Comments about Manos del Uruguay Lace:
This yarn made a beautiful and soft necking. I used a very open lace pattern on rather large needles for this weight yarn (#7) and the yarn held it's shape wonderfully. After blocking (with steam) the yarn became silkier. The color ways make a nice blend in my necking, not spotty or stripey as can sometimes happen with space dyed yarn. I will be purchasing more of this lovely and versatile yarn.
