Made in Uruguay, fair trade.
Manos del Uruguay was founded to give Uruguay's rural women jobs, that would mean, not just an income, but also an opportunity to personally develop and gain independence, keeping their roots and traditions, close to their community and families. Every yarn has a tag with the artisan signature and the name of the village where the cooperative is located. This is a reminder that behind each skein, there is a woman, a story. Manos del Uruguay creates yarns that are beautiful, ethical and sustainable. Every piece is an opportunity to help a Uruguayan woman support her family.
Manos del Uruguay is a member of the WFTO, World Fair Trade Organization since 2009. Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. As a Fair Trade organization, we are engaged in supporting producers, raising awareness and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of international trade.
