Introducing Clara
Have you spotted the newest Manos del Uruguay yarn distributed by Fairmount Fibers? Clara is a light and lofty sport-weight yarn. The superwash merino fiber takes dye beautifully (in addition to being beautifully easy to care for). The phrase "it's like butter" is one we have seen mentioned in regards to this yarn several times on Ravelry, making it a wonderful choice for next-to-skin items!
Our free pattern, the Pradera Wrap, calls for four colorways of Clara, one skein of each color. Currently there are ten colorways available, making for more than two hundred possible combinations! Each skein has approximately 385 yards, creating a wrap with a finished size of 15.5” wide, 74” long. The generous yardage in each skein provides for lots of possible projects!
Here are a few of the projects that caught our eye and will certainly inspire a few new projects to be cast on! Clockwise from left: ivillareal1997crochet's Artfully Simple in C20 Granade, Dreamknitgirl's Incentive in C18 Hortensia, and tosarah23's Starting Out Knitted Baby Dress in C14 Esmeralda.
There is currently a giveaway taking place in our Ravelry group for the Pradera Wrap - click here to join us and to leave your pattern suggestion for Clara. A winner will be selected at random on May 22, 2015. You can also find additional Clara inspiration on our Facebook page and on our dedicated Pinterest board! Don't forget you can tag @ManosYarns in your Instagram pictures, if you are adding it to your stash or using it in a project!
