Franca is a fun single ply yarn spun from 100% incredibly soft merino superwash. Super chunky, yet light & springy, perfect for accessories full of personality.
A beautiful example of Manos' rich, striated, colour-shifting hues thanks to unique and time honoured hand-dying techniques.
Every single skien is a celebration of colour, and as with all Manos yarns, every skein of yarn carries the signature of the craftswoman who made it, together with the name of the locality and the non-profit cooperative where it was made.
And if you love it like we do - it makes the most impressive, super-squidgy chunky blanket!

Manos del Uruguay was town in 1968 out of a simple question: How can we improve the life of Uruguayan rural women?
Manos was founded to given women jobs that would allow them to provide for their families, be independent and self-develop while staying in their home villages and keeping their roots and traditional skills.
40 years on, Manos has grown to be a very special non-profit organisation, owned by the women themselves, focused on a product that is sustainable, ethical and beautiful. This was acknowledged by the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) by welcoming Manos as members in 2009.
