Manos del Uruguay Sami

Manos del Uruguay Sami is a soft, hand-dyed DK-weight yarn in beautiful semi-solid shades. Made from 100% superwash Merino wool, Sami has plenty of bounce and softness for sweaters, accessories, and everyday knits, while its subtle tonal variation gives finished fabric more depth than a flat solid color.

Sami is spun from the same yarn base as Manos del Uruguay Marla, making the two a natural pairing. Use Sami as a grounding solid alongside Marla's richly marled colors for stripes, colorwork, borders, or larger garments that combine the two.

Beautiful Yarn With a Meaningful Story

Sami is hand-dyed by women artisans working in Manos del Uruguay cooperatives in rural Uruguay. Manos was founded in 1968 to create employment, independence, and opportunities for rural women while allowing them to remain close to their families and communities.

Manos del Uruguay has been a member of the World Fair Trade Organization since 2009. Its Fair Trade model supports the artisans who make the yarn while helping preserve Uruguay's craft traditions.
