Manos del Uruguay Kiskadee is a lovely hat and fingerless mitt set in which a k1, p1 rib evolves into stockinette stitch, with the changeover in increases and decreases. The hat shows peaks and valleys, while the mitts spread the stockinette stitch outward from the base of the thumb until it surrounds the hand. Manos del Uruguay Cardo is wonderfully squishable bulky weight yarn spun from Uruguayan Carindale wool. This yarn comes in beautiful hand-dyed semi-solid colors, and its round structure will create crisp stitch definitions in a wide range of texture, cable, and colorwork patterns.
