We’ve been talking a lot about mohair and other fluffy fibres this week. Here’s an incredible tutorial from Olga Buraya-Kefelian @olgajazzyknits on how to maximize the fluff of your fibre when working with mohair! #askolga #mohair #sweaterweather #shopalxva #otboutiques
If you read our “Ask Olga” article on the Captain’s Log earlier this week, you know that fluff is on trend right now! It is for this reason that we are so excited to introduce a new arrival from @julie_asselin – Anatolia Étoiles! It`s a featherlight blend of soft kid mohair, shimmering silk, and lurex, hand-dyed in a gorgeous range of color ways. Held single or double, it makes airy accessories and garments, or add it to your favorite yarns to give a soft, lustrous halo to your finished fabric.
Check out what we`re stitching with it!
