Sep 26 Manos Del Uruguay Alma Trunk Show September 28-October 20

Manos came up with a Fingering weight, merino superwash, quite artisanal, that would be the perfect canvas to play with color and get amazing effects.

Fingering is so popular right now, Alma’s generous yardage 546 yards makes it perfect for shawls, socks, accessories and even sweaters, without demanding too much knitting time.

When developing Alma, Manos looked for the softest merino superwash and spun a single ply 500+ yards per 100 gram yarn. Alma is very light and lofty, with lots of body and volume.

As with all, Mano yarns, Alma is hand dyed in Manos cooperatives in Uruguay's countryside, by rural women. It is a yarn that's beautiful, ethical and sustainable.

Alma means soul in Spanish, it’s pure and tender nature brings to mind all things good. We are so happy with it and hope you will try and enjoy it too!

Knit Fold Pleat Repeat

Simple shapes are ideal for the novice knitter, but the clever folds and fastenings of Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat will intrigue the experienced crowd too. These techniques are easy to learn, and the design possibilities--and new combinations that come to light once you begin--are nearly endless. Each design starts with a simple rectangle, square, or triangle and builds from there: to fold, drape, or twist the shape into a garment or accessory, and to introduce pleats, welts, and slices along the way. Every pattern has a gorgeous high-fashion style, and the projects are so addictive to knit--you may find yourself making the same garment in new colors and yarns so you'll have one for each season. The book includes thirty-six patterns in all, each with variations.
