Raíz, which means “root” in my native Spanish, is a one hundred percent superwash extrafine merino. It is a singles spun base that yields a lofty and impressively squishy skein of 435 yards of fingering weight loveliness. I named this base Raíz because since the beginning of my dyer’s journey I have been drawn to: 1) merino, 2) singles spun, and 3) fingering weight yarns. This combination of characteristics yields a color that is quite unique from plied yarns, in that the colors seem to wrap, rather than sink, deeply around the yarn core creating beautiful layers and depth in everything from solids to variegated colorways. Every new colorplay on this base tickles me to my fiber loving core.
