Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande Semi Solids Hand dyed 100 g

Incredibly soft by Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande Semi Solids is a thicker sister yarn to Alegria , produced in accordance with fair trade principles. This reinforced sock yarn is also great for other accessories such as beanies and mittens due to its ease of use. The wonderful twist of the hand-dyed yarn brings out the stitch patterns beautifully and clearly. The finished knit is very elastic and, thanks to its lightness, it also retains its shape well.

Approximately 1 skein is enough for a pair of women's size 39-40 socks when knitted with 3 mm needles.

You can find multi-colored shades of the same yarn here !

The balls shown in the picture are examples. Color shades can vary considerably even between balls from the same batch. We recommend alternating layers/rounds from the old and new ball just before using the new ball.
