Product information "Manos del Uruguay Marla"
Looks like handspun: "Marla" by the Uruguayan hand-dyeing cooperative Manos del Uruguay consists of two strands of yarn, both hand-dyed, that are spun together to create this special effect. It's a lovely yarn for shawls and cowls as it is both very soft (superfine merino!) and superwash, so you can toss your pieces in the washing machine when necessary. The yardage is 273 yards / 250 m per 100 g skein, so your hats and shawls will knit up fairly quickly and be squishy and warm. "Marla" looks especially good when combined with its sister yarn "Sami", e. g. in a "Match & Move" shawl or with stranded patterns.

The yarn is dyed in a women's project in Uruguay, providing fair working conditions and pay for women in rural areas.
This yarn proves that making the world more beautiful and a better place at the same time actually works!
