Silk Blend is a heritage Manos del Uruguay yarn that has become a staple in every maker's repertoire, with more than 18 years as part of the Manos catalog. Soft and shiny, Silk Blend gives excellent stitch definition to cables and other textures, and its jewel-like colors work beautifully in stranded colorwork.
All of Manos del Uruguay yarns are hand dyed. The artisans use big kettles heated by wood-fueled boilers, dyeing in small batches creating wonderful colors. The colors of Manos yarns are bright and wild, full of nuances and variations. No two skeins are the same, each one is unique, a testimony of a particular moment.
Due to the small batch hand-dyed process, there may be differences in colors between skeins. Order enough yarn for your project for a better likelihood that skeins will match. Alternate skeins where needed.
All Manos del Uruguay yarns are mulesing-free.

Care
Please note: Certain colors may bleed, especially dark colors and vibrant ones. Always make a test swatch and block it, if you’re concerned about color bleeding. To help reduce bleeding, block with cold water, use color catching sheets in the water, only use one color, or stay away from high-contrast colorwork.
