Fino Mini Kit
For over 50 years, Manos del Uruguay has been empowering women in rural areas of Uruguay through their cooperatives. By purchasing Manos yarn, you directly support these talented artisans, providing them with meaningful work and improving their lives. Each skein represents the skill, dedication, and artistic heritage of these incredible women.
Elegant and refined, Fino combines the softness of merino wool with the luster of silk in a lightweight yarn that’s perfect for heirloom accessories or luxurious garments. Fino features a dye process that yields complex, subtle, tonal colors.
