What makes Manos del Uruguay Marla Yarn different from other DK merino wool yarns?

Manos del Uruguay Marla Yarn stands out because each skein is hand-dyed and marled, meaning two strands are dyed separately before being plied together for a stunning, one-of-a-kind color effect. This process not only results in beautiful, unique colorways you can't find elsewhere, but also supports fair trade artisans in Uruguay. Shoppers and knitters love how each project feels truly personalized, adding a special touch to your finished items.

Is Marla Yarn soft and comfortable enough for garments worn next to the skin?

Absolutely! Marla Yarn is spun from 100% superwash merino wool, known for its exceptional softness and gentle feel against the skin. Many customers use Marla Yarn for baby sweaters, hats, scarves, and cozy cardigans, reporting that it's both squishy and non-itchy. The DK merino wool yarn has a lovely drape, making it a go-to for garments you'll want to wear every day.

How durable is Manos del Uruguay Marla Yarn, and how should I care for it?

Because Marla Yarn is a superwash DK merino wool yarn, it's more durable than many non-superwash yarns. It's machine washable on a gentle cycle in cool water, then should be laid flat to dry for best longevity. Many customers appreciate how their hats, mitts, and sweaters hold up beautifully after regular wear and careful washing. This makes Marla ideal for gifts and everyday pieces you want to look great for years.

What kinds of knitting or crochet projects is Marla Yarn best for?

Marla Yarn's DK weight and subtle marled color variations make it perfect for a huge variety of projects! It's a great choice for sweaters, cowls, hats, shawls, baby garments, and heirloom-quality accessories. The unique marling creates beautiful texture in both simple and more complex stitch patterns. Customers often mention that Marla Yarn works up evenly and gives projects an eye-catching, artisanal look.

How do the marled colors of Marla Yarn coordinate with other yarns for larger or two-tone projects?

Marla Yarn's distinctive marled colorways can be paired creatively with solid DK merino wool yarns for stripes, color blocks, or fades. Since each skein is unique, we recommend purchasing all the yarn you need for your project at once and alternating skeins every few rows to blend colors. Shoppers love using Marla as an accent or main color, and it plays beautifully with other DK superwash merino bases for everything from multi-colored sweaters to cozy blankets.
