A Fiber for the People classic inspired by rusted iron, with oxidized orange, brown, charcoal, mineral gray, teal, plum, red, and pale flashes drifting throughout.

The halo of kid mohair softens the transitions while the silk catches every little shift in color. Held alongside a solid yarn, Angel Rust adds movement and character without completely burying the color underneath.

BASE
72% kid mohair / 28% mulberry silk
Lace weight

ABOUT HAND-DYED YARN

Each skein is dyed by hand in very small batches, so variation between skeins is part of the process. Even skeins dyed together may differ slightly in depth or placement of color. For larger projects, alternating skeins every couple of rows can help blend those natural variations.

After dyeing, yarn is thoroughly rinsed, given a final soak with wool wash, spun out, and air-dried in my studio. Some residual dye release can occasionally occur, particularly with darker or more saturated colors.

CARE

Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-safe wash. Avoid agitation and sudden temperature changes. Lay flat to dry.
