Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande is our Yarn of the Month for September 2017. Leave a comment below to enter for your chance to win two skeins of Grande in your choice of colors!
And Alegria Grande is 10% off throughout September!
We carry Manos del Uruguay Alegria Semi-Solid and Space-Dyed in sock weight, but we've just added brand-new Alegria Grande to the mix!
Grande is a worsted-weight yarn, great for accessories, sweaters, blankets—just anything! Made with a blend of superwash merino and polyamide (a sweat-wicking, man-made fiber similar to nylon), it's machine washable (but please dry flat!).
I love all Manos del Uruguay yarn for many reasons, not the least of which is the COLOR! The folks at Manos are experts at putting together amazing colors for their space-dyed yarns, and using just the right amount of subtle variety in their space-dyed yarns. When the new shipment of Alegria arrived this week, we all swooned! Just gorgeous.
Kelley is working on a brioche hat (Beezee by Katrin Schubert) in Alegria Grande. Isn't it beautiful? We'll be offering this hat as a class at the shop in October.
Introduce yourself to our yarn of the month with the free Tayberry Hat and two colors of Alegria Grande, maybe Cactus Flower and Tahiti? This would be a super-cute Christmassy combo. Alegria Grande is 10% off throughout September!
Would you like to win two skeins of Alegria Grande in your choice of colors? To be entered, just leave a comment below, and tell us what you'd knit or crochet with your prize.
Good luck!
