Happy 45th Anniversary to us! The Ball & Skein first opened in 1978 and has been a destination for fiber fans from all over the world since then. We're delighted to offer this celebratory custom hand-dyed color of Fino to you. Based on colors that remind us of the Forest and the Sea here in Cambria, we think you'll like the feel as well as the color of this beautiful, fingering weight yarn. Why Cuarenta y Cinco? That means Forty-Five in Spanish! Elegant and refined, Fino combines the softness of merino wool with the lustre of silk in a lightweight yarn that’s perfect for heirloom accessories or luxurious garments. Fino features a dye process that yields complex, subtle, colors. Fino is a delightful fingering weight yarn with very good yardage on a skein. Perfect for those shawl or accessory projects. If you're a fan of small needles, Fino is also a delightful garment yarn as the Merino/Silk blend is perfect for 'close to the skin' comfort. Manos del Uruguay is a certified Fair Trade yarn from a Woman's Cooperative in Uruguay. Since 1968 they've been transforming lives in Uruguay. We're proud to carry every yarn they make in every color.
