With deep, earthy colorways and a cushy bounce, it’s a planet-kind, heritage-rich fiber, perfect for us knitters who value sustainability without compromise.

Manos del Uruguay Alegria

Hand-dyed with joy and purpose, Alegria is making it's first TWT appearance in this Sock Bag. It is crafted by women’s cooperatives in rural Uruguay. This fair-trade, superwash merino blend is luxuriously soft, deeply saturated in color, and ideal for cozy, easy-care socks. It’s yarn with heart—each skein supports ethical making and global community.

West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply

★★★★★

What I like most about the sock bag is the opportunity to try something new and possibly in a color I would never have chosen. This years bag is a big hit and will incorporate two of the skeins for the upcoming sock sprint.
