{"product_id":"manos-del-uruguay-marla-100-superwash-merino-wool-dk-weight","title":"Manos del Uruguay Marla – 100% Superwash Merino Wool, DK Weight","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eManos del Uruguay Marla is a beautifully marled DK-weight yarn created by plying together two individually hand-dyed strands of superwash Merino wool. The result is a distinctive, richly layered color effect that gives even simple knitting wonderful depth and movement.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach colorway combines saturated tones across the two plies, creating subtle shifts in color throughout the skein while maintaining a cohesive overall palette. The marled construction looks beautiful in straightforward stockinette and textured stitches alike, making Marla an especially versatile choice for sweaters, cardigans, hats, cowls, and accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpun from 100% superwash Merino wool, Marla has a soft, comfortable hand with the bounce and elasticity you expect from Merino, along with the practicality of easy-care wool. At 273 yards per 100-gram skein and a gauge of 20–23 stitches per 4 inches, it works beautifully for a wide range of DK-weight patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManos del Uruguay yarns are hand-dyed by artisans in rural Uruguay. The organization is a nonprofit cooperative founded to provide women in rural communities with sustainable employment and economic opportunities while preserving traditional craft skills. Each skein carries both the individuality of hand-dyed yarn and the story of the artisan community behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Marla is hand dyed, variations between skeins are natural and part of its character. We recommend purchasing enough yarn for your entire project and alternating skeins every two rows when working larger areas to blend any color differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFiber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Superwash Merino Wool\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e DK \/ Light (3)\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 273 Yards\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eSkein Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 g\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–23 Stitches = 4\" (5–5.75 Stitches per Inch)\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Needles:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 4–6 (3.5–4 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Individually Hand-Dyed Strands Plied Together\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eDye Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Dyed\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand or Machine Wash; Lay Flat to Dry\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uruguay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Love It at A Show of Hands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarla gives you incredible color without needing a complicated stitch pattern.
