About Fairmount Fibers

Fairmount Fibers is the U.S. distributor of Baa Ram Ewe and Manos del Uruguay yarns. • About Baa Ram Ewe • When you choose Baa Ram Ewe yarns, you are not just selecting a product; you are embracing a tradition of craftsmanship and supporting ethical practices that keep the spirit of British wool alive. Our mission is to share the beautiful natural properties of this sustainable fibre through a range of luxurious, breed-specific yarns that highlight the difference in qualities from sheep to sheep. In collaborating with talented farmers, skilled spinners, and expert dyers throughout the UK, we ensure that our yarns stand out not just for their beauty but also for their quality. • About Manos del Uruguay • Manos del Uruguay yarns are hand-dyed. The artisans use big pots heated by wood kettles, dyeing in small batches creating wonderful colors. 
Our yarns colors are bright and wild, full of nuances and variations. No two skeins are the same, each one is unique, a testimony of a particular moment. Every skein of yarn has a tag with the artisan signature and the name of the village where the cooperative is located. This help us remind that behind each hank of hand-dyed yarn, there is a woman, a story. Manos del Uruguay has been a proud member of the WFTO - World Fair Trade Organization - since 2009.
