Fae is a delicate, lace-weight blend of kid mohair and silk.
Mohair is a durable fiber and is notable for its brilliant luster and shine and is often added to other fibers to give them these same qualities. It is naturally elastic, has excellent insulating and moisture-wicking properties which make it a lovely multi-season fiber. It can add luxury to any project.
Silk is strong, inelastic and naturally shiny. It is warmer than wool and naturally absorbent. Learn more about Fae here.
The combination of mohair and silk creates a shiny, airy, strong fiber. The dye takes to both very well and creates a stunning effect. The silk core sometimes glows amid the wispy mohair. It is soft and fluffy, with a generous halo.
Fae can be used alone or paired with any other fiber to create something luxurious. Bitterbrush, Chestnut, Chromite, Clay, Forsythia, Heartwood, Hemlock, Jewelweed, Obsidian, Smoke dyed in Wyoming. All other colors hand-dyed in Portland

Hand washing with wool specific soap is recommended. Lay Flat to dry.
The garment should be washed separately. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
*We try hard to capture the essence of each colorway, but please keep in mind that colors may vary from monitor to monitor.
