The month of love might be over (Hello, March!!), but that doesn't mean that the love has to stop! And, our love for Manos del Uruguay can't stop, won't stop! Not only are their fibers squishy and delicious, but their mission is one-of-a-kind.
A member of the World Fair Trade Organization and founded in 1968, Manos del Uruguay's focus has always been on the women of rural Uruguay, providing them with not only jobs, but also independence. They hand dye each hank of yarn in small batches, no 2 skeins are exactly alike - each is its own unique work of art, signed on the label by the artist! Every skein is an opportunity for these women to support themselves and their families.
This week, we're proud to introduce you to two new yarns from Manos del Uruguay - Feliz and Cabrito! Feliz is a blend of merino superwash and modal, giving the yarn great drape and making it great for socks or shawls! Kid mohair makes Cabrito soft, like a cloud! Each skein of Cabrito creates a fun, halo effect - perfect for adding some extra pizazz to your upcoming project!

Namaste Tote Bag
Are you a pack-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kinda gal?! Our Maker's Tote Bag was mindfully designed for those who need to make sure that they have all of their essentials. With plenty of room for your cardigan, your latest reading book or planner, and several projects, the Tote is ideal for those who want to carry all of their everyday belongings.
Crafted from vegan leather and including crafting specific features, like our Lotus Yarn Feeder, a key leash (doubles as a tape-measure), and a decorative tassel (equipped with an emergency stitch marker), the Namaste Maker's Tote Bag is designed for YOU!

Don't take our word for it - here's what your fellow crafters had to say about their Tote!
"This bag is of excellent quality and so thoughtfully designed. It hold all of my "purse stuff" plus a knitting project. It has three pockets, giving me seperate compartments for "purse stuff", my Kindle and knitting. Not too heavy even when fully loaded. The straps fit well and don't tend to slide off. I love the extras - tape measure key holder, emergency stitch marker, etc. Well worth the money!" - Jill Chee
"I am a new knitter and spend most of my time knitting outside of the home. This bag has it all! There is a pocket for everything! I really enjoy the yarn feeder feature that is attached to the bag. The [vegan] leather fabric is high quality as well as the interior. I highly recommend this bag for anyone who wants to knit on the go and have a classy bag to carry as well." - JessicaQuilter
"There is such a thing as a perfect purse and this is it. It's well made and pretty enough to carry to work or out to dinner, but functional enough to hold all my "purse stuff" AND all my knitting stuff. The built in snap pocket is genius. I can fit two skeins and a medium sized project inside and still have lots of room for a wallet, small makeup bag, and small notebook inside. It's not heavy so it's easy to carry and the straps are a perfect length. It's really a well designed bag and I intend to purchase more from the same line." - Jennylew
