Fell in love with "Manos del Uragauy" last weekend. Knit on Pearl in Jackson had a whole rack of this luscious stuff - marino with a little silk, hand spun and hand dyed in the most rich colors. No two skeins are alike, so you just find some that look okay together. Supposed to be a non-profit org to "bring social and economic opportunities to rural women". It's hard to know - but they sure make some nice handspun.
Vanessa Siampe made the verigated grey one, Blanca made my two red pattern ones, and the blue says sombody Zapata. I couldn't stand it, and had to start a sock from one. Interupted rib leg, I haven't decided how to do the heel yet.
