 At the cooperatives in Uruguay countryside, the artisans first dye the colours to the merino top and then hand spin it on a spinning wheel.  This creates a delicate colour twirling effect that reminds us of the paper streamers (serpentinas)  thrown at the Carnival parties. The result is fabric that is soft and squishy to the touch with plush stitch definition.
