Manos del Uruguay.

Manos del Uruguay is more than a boutique; it is a non-profit social enterprise owned by a collective of twelve cooperatives of rural women. Located within the Tres Cruces transport hub, this outpost serves as a convenient gateway to the brand’s world-renowned hand-dyed yarns and high-quality knitwear. The hallmark of the collection is the kettle-dyed wool, which features a distinct marbleized effect that ensures no two skeins are identical. Every item comes with a tag signed by the specific artisan who crafted it, providing a direct link to the small villages where the pieces originate. As a member of the World Fair Trade Organization, the shop emphasizes ethical production and the preservation of traditional Uruguayan crafts using local wool, leather, and horn. It is a reliable stop for those seeking authentic, socially conscious souvenirs that skip the typical tourist tropes.
