  • Small batch, hand-dyed superkid mohair silk

    As debuted at the Bay Area Yarn Crawl! All colorways are currently sold as a preorder & will be sent out by the 2nd week in April

    We're thrilled to welcome the latest project from Shangdrok, the makers of our Tibetan hand-spun yak down collection. These beloved partners of ours are at it again—they're channelling their fiber prowess into this skillfully hand-dyed line. And each of these unique colorways are featured on the lightest, softest, loftiest, superkid mohair silk.

    This collection is extra special in that it's hand-dyed by Shangdrok's founder, April Tang, herself. April is a social entrepreneur who not only founded an incredibly impactful enterprise to support and preserve the artforms of nomad women on the Tibetan Plateau but has also created a hand-dyeing studio (and indie dye movement!) in Taiwan. Your love for this yarn makes all of the above possible (so huge thanks to you).
