Marina, from our friends at Manos del Uruguay, is a luxurious lace weight yarn spun from 100% soft, super wash Merino! Of course it comes in those beautiful hand-dyed colors we know and love from the artisans at Manos.
A single 100 gram skein has approximately 874 yards, so lots of yardage for so many projects! Perfect by itself or combined with another yarn (such as their mohair blend Cabrito) we think you'll find lots of ways to enjoy this beautiful yarn.
We've put together some color combinations to help you get started!
|
|
The Siempre Poncho is all about the fabric. Two strands of Marina held together in an easy mesh stitch produce an airy garment with excellent drape. As you're using different colors they also allow a subtle fade from one color to another. Choose 3 colorways that have a hue in common, or go bolder with 3 totally independent shades. We've put together some ideas to get you started!

Stay tuned for more designs using Marina from Manos del Uruguay! |

Hatfield Hat & Mitts Class |
|
|
|
Join us on Saturday October 17, 2020, 9:00 AM to Noon for an On-Line class!
The evenings are getting longer, and we think about spending them making fun things that warm us! We’re hosting a class to make these beautiful Hatfield Hat and Mitts by Lana Jois for Fairmount Fibers, the US Distributor for Manos del Uruguay Yarns. Both the hat and mitts take one skein each of Manos del Uruguay’s Maxima yarn, a worsted weight pure merino yarn that shows lovely knit patterns and is soft to the touch!
We will cover working with knitting in the round using circular needles for the hat and working in the round using double points for both the mitts and hat. The pattern includes reading “charts” to create the lovely design used in both pieces. We will cover tips and tricks when working in the round.

Yarn Bombing the SLO Botanic Garden!
Calling all knitters! The SLOBG is planning a yarn bomb and we would love to showcase your creations. Yarn artists are needed to knit colorful, 12-inch wide strips (of any length) and/or nature-themed crochet designs to be sewn together on trees in our Life Celebration Garden. All creations should be made using acrylic yarn. Projects should be dropped off at the retail shop at the SLO Botanic Garden by October 31, 2020.
SLOBG will proudly display the yarn bomb for the month of November. Artists will receive recognition in the SLOBG newsletter and on signage accompanying the display.
We hope that this display of creativity brings people to the garden and showcases local yarn artists. November is a great month for cozy, knitted art and the SLO Botanic Garden is a great place to connect with the beauty of nature!
Questions? Contact: anika@slobg.org Anika Clements, Programs Director SLOBG
