Manos del Uruguay Alegria is a fingering-weight, 4-ply, 75% superwash Merino wool / 25% polyamide yarn with a generous 445 yards per 100 gram skein. This soft, springy sock yarn is great for all fingering weight projects--not just socks! Shawls, accessories, and fingering-weight garments shine with color when worked in Alegria. Alegria ("joy" in Spanish) comes in highly varigated space dyes, tonal semisolids, and tons of unique colors from neons to neutrals.
