A shifting taupe-gray with smoky brown, silver, and an almost iridescent quality where the silk catches the light. Quiet from a distance, surprisingly complex up close.

Mothwing is a Lucky Strike, which means this particular color came from the wonderfully unpredictable process of working with leftover dye. It is inherently small-batch and not something I can reliably recreate once it is gone.

BASE
72% kid mohair / 28% mulberry silk

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.
