Rio de la Plata is a yarn manufacturer based in Uruguay. Wool is one of the primary imports of Uruguay
and the wool comes kettle dyed and handspun from women who belong to the cooperative. In this way, they are able to earn money
and honor the tradition of their mothers and grandmothers by keeping these ancient skills alive. Each hank is a work of art!
The company is named after the widest river in the world in the region where the yarn is produced. They also developed
the the "La Plata Twist" to give the tweed effect that is so sought-after. Their yarns are known for
being incredibly soft with vibrant colorways.
