Knitting New Futures With Manos del Uruguay

For Manos del Uruguay, the word ‘handmade’ signifies a craft untouched by technology. Since its founding in 1968, the non-profit knitwear cooperative has upheld traditional electricity-free techniques preserved by women artisans in rural communities.

Manos artisans use local, responsibly sourced yarns to create their pieces. “All our wool is of Uruguayan origin, and sometimes we mix it with alpaca fibres from Peru,” explains Ana de Prado, a designer and product manager at the cooperative. “The sheep are healthy and well taken care of.”

The lanolin-rich wool is spun by hand before being dyed and left to dry in the sun. Each knitted garment is finished manually, and labels with the artisan’s signature are attached in recognition of the hands that made it.
