Storai – Athena | Rust Ember

Athena by Storai is a rustic, characterful yarn spun from 100% Shetland wool — known for its resilience, loft, and timeless natural beauty. With its dry hand, heathered tone, and traditional feel, Athena is perfect for heritage-inspired garments, textured knits, and lightweight layering with lasting structure. Rust Ember glows with deep, earthy orange and ember-like flecks — like firelight glowing through iron-rich stone.
