Handwoven and -dyed silk mohair possum merino cape
Tasman Sky. Handwoven elegant cape in super soft possum merino and silk mohair. Shades of blue reflecting the sea and sky.
The base of the cape is a hand dyed NZ possum merino in a teal-dusty blue shade. This is an incredibly soft, elegant, high quality wool and one of our luxury fibres.
The cape was woven with a hand dyed silk mohair in three shades of blue.
The cape rests on your shoulders as a casual coat, but can also be worn thrown over one side as a wrap. It can also be worn belted in a boho look. Perfect for an evening out, or snuggling on the sofa or deck.
The middle back seam has been hand finished for a neat professional look and to avoid loosening.
The cape has been hand washed and brushed, and steam pressed.
Materials: Silk mohair on NZ possum merino. Hand twisted fringe. Hand wash only. No iron. Brush when wet, let dry, brush, steam finish.

This one-off piece is Work 202. I never weave the same cloth or item twice. Every piece is unique and numbered, every creation has a story to tell.
The Possum Merino I use has been farmed, processed, milled and spun in the South Island of NZ. The Possum fur is trapped on the Banks Peninsula and is hand plucked. This is the highest quality undyed base yarn I can buy in NZ. Merino wool comes from our Merino sheep and is renowned for its exceptional properties: its fantastic softness, durability, cooling/heating and breathability. The fibres of Merino are softer, finer and more sensitive than many other fibres – the main difference to other wools. Possum fibre is 55% warmer than merino fibre, the combination produces a garment with a high warmth to weight ratio. Warmer than cashmere. This wool has 20% possum, making it lightweight and suitable for wear both inside and out.
Silk mohair is like wearing a cloud, and the combination with the merino makes for an absolutely super soft garment.
Dimensions: width 27″ – 69cm // length w/o fringe 121″ – 304cm // fringe 5″ – 13cm. // Neck to back hem 39 1/2″ – 100cm. Brooch sold separately.
Entirely hand woven and hand finished. Made by me in a smoke-free home.
I ship NZ courier NZ wide, NZ Post international tracked on overseas items. If the item fits in a smaller bag (hence less expensive) I will reimburse you the amount after payment.
