Bloom Woolen Yarns: Roots Sock/Fingering
Fiber: Northeast
Milled: Northeast
Dyed: Northeast
Roots is Bloom's "not-just-sock" yarn.... a 3-ply next-to-skin-soft sock or fingering weight made from 90% Romney cross and 10% mohair.
Yes, it's strong enough for socks, but don't just relegate Roots to the feet! With a soft halo and gentle drape, Roots works great for shawls and cardigans, lace and colorwork, and tops light enough for spring days or cool summer nights. Wool is not just for winter!
We wanted to create an alternative to other woolen sock yarns that often have nylon or other synthetic fibers added. We knew that using 3-plies of long, strong wool and spinning it worsted style at Battenkill Fibers would make a strong yarn; we also added some mohair for extra strength and luster making a good practical sock yarn.
All of Bloom's fiber is grown on our family homestead or sourced from small farms in Western MA, NY and VT.
Roots in offered in bright self-striping colorways that are organically dyed, along with our signature plant (and bug!) dyed shades.

Our overlay yarn is designed to layer color over a contrasting base, allowing the underlying tone to subtly show through and create depth and dimension in your finished rug.
Designed for rug weaving, crocheting, or other sturdy crafts, this yarn is made to hold up to use while working up quickly. Every bump includes a branded center-pull tag, making it easy to find your starting end without digging or unraveling.
One bump makes a rug approximately 2' x 2' on our peg loom.
