Witchweft was born from an accidental discovery by weavers in a remote corner of Muspar'i. While experimenting with a new dyeing technique, they inadvertently ruined an expensive shipment of imported cotton fibers. Desperate to salvage the investment, they re-dyed the fibers black and attempted to hide the resulting thread as the weft filler in lighter-colored weaves. What began as an attempt to hide a mistake resulted in a striking effect—the lightweight chambray fabric took on an unusual shadowed depth. Witchweft, so fancifully named for the prevalence of black in the fine fabric and an attempt to sound mysterious, quickly gained fame for its shadowy appearance and superb quality. It does not drape well and remains slightly stiff, even after repeated washing.

Introduced at Droughtman's Challenge 450.

Common Description

Usually found in deep, rich jewel tones to best showcase its coveted effect, the lightweight tightly woven fabric is infused with a subtle darkness, the black weft threads casting a shadow beneath the <color> weave.
