Ideal - by Manos del Uruguay

Ideal is a worsted-weight yarn made from 100% Uruguayan Polwarth wool - a fiber beloved for its incredible warmth, softness, and natural resilience. Named after the Polwarth sheep, this yarn reflects the unique environment of Uruguay and the care and expertise of its local breeders.

With its 4-ply structure and non-superwash finish, Ideal has beautiful stitch definition and a wonderfully natural feel. It is both durable and cozy - perfect for garments and accessories meant to be worn and loved. The rich, hand-dyed color palette is vibrant and full of depth, making Ideal especially beautiful for colorwork, striping, and bold, creative projects.

Sourced, spun, and hand-dyed entirely in Uruguay.
