Cardo Collection

The Cardo Collection designed by the Fairmount Fibers team celebrates the newest yarn from Manos del Uruguay: Cardo! Cardo is a crisp, resilient bulky-weight yarn made of 100% Corriedale wool in a 4-ply construction.

Tero is a buttonless cardigan with delightfully chunky 2x2 ribbing at all its edges. The pattern band is continuous around the mid-section thanks to the seamless construction, and provides a great opportunity for the pop of a playful accent color.
