Materials & Care

Alegria by Manos del Uruguay is a luxuriously soft, hand-dyed fingering weight yarn made from a blend of Superwash Merino wool and durable polyamide (nylon). Renowned for its vibrant, saturated colors and buttery feel, Alegria lives up to its name,"joy" in Spanish, with every skein infused with warmth and personality.

Perfect for socks, shawls, baby knits, and lightweight garments, this yarn combines softness and strength, making it both a pleasure to work with and a joy to wear. Each skein is hand-dyed by artisans supported by Manos, a nonprofit that empowers rural women by providing sustainable income through traditional craft, allowing them to be independent & support their families while being able to live in their home villages.

Whether you're creating a treasured gift or indulging in self-care knitting, Alegria delivers quality, color, and conscience

Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations that cause colors to vary from skein to skein. As this is a natural part of the process, please note there may be differences between the yarn images shown and the yarn received. To counteract this, we encourage all crafters to buy enough yarn for their entire project at one time.
