Yarn Review - Manaya (Hobbii)

Submitted by Regev on

Manaya yarn started as a limited edition yarn on the Hobbii website, but it has grown to be a shopper's favorite and finally made it into the permanent collection, with new colorways added. Manaya is a wool/acrylic blend, which creates very nice and warm garments. It comes in a large 200g skein, with about 500m of worsted weight yarn. 
It is great for scarves, hats, ponchos and any other cuddly winter accessory you can think of. The yarn is also OEKO-TEX® certified.

European Yarn Companies You Need To Know

Many of us shop for yarn at our local stores, which naturally hold mostly yarns manufactured for and distributed by yarn companies in our country. Sometimes we might get some international brands at a speciality store (or what we call LYS) but there are so many companies out there we never get to try, or even hear of! Let's take a trip around the world and get to know new yarn companies from other places!
