Yarn by Manos del Uruguay Now at Slowfiber

Posted on November 15th, 2021 by Slowfiber

Slowfiber is proud to now carry hand spun and hand dyed wool yarn by Manos del Uruguay, a nonprofit organization that coordinates 12 cooperative workshops located in small villages in Uruguay’s countryside.

The artisans who spin and dye this yarn are the owners of the company and profits are shared among the cooperatives or re-invested in the organization, improving the lives of Uruguay's rural people.

Slowfiber invites you to visit us at 517A Hartnell Street in Downtown Old Monterey and see for yourself Manos del Uruguay's beautiful, high quality yarn. It's also available on our website.

Monterey County Mask Mandate Begins November 5

Posted on November 3rd, 2021 by lighthouseave

Throughout Monterey County, face masks are required to be worn indoors in public spaces as of Friday, November 5, 2021. This is because Monterey County reached the “substantial” community transmission level of Covid-19 according to the CDC. For details, please read this short article in Monterey County Weekly by Pam Marino.

There are some exceptions to the mask mandate, all covered in the article. These exceptions include indoor dining, situations in which a mask would “impede a medical or cosmetic procedure,” or at a meeting where all vaccinated people have shown proof of vaccination (unvaccinated people still have to wear masks).

We thank you for your patience, your compassion in these unusual times, and your continued support of the Lighthouse District's small, locally-owned businesses.
