Ella Rae Yarns Silky Kid in color Denim 44
Denim blue keeps its backbone. The color comes through clearly and confidently, a true country blue with depth and presence. Think weathered barns, open skies, and well-worn work shirts rather than faded pastels.
The mohair adds a subtle haze without muting the strength of the shade, giving it texture and warmth, while the silk brings just enough light to keep it lively. Worked up, it feels rugged yet refined, a sturdy, honest blue with a gentle glow, made for pieces that feel rooted, wearable, and timeless.
As a lace weight, it floats rather than weighs, perfect for open stitches, delicate layers, and pieces meant to feel dreamlike on the skin. Knit or crochet it alone for sheer elegance, or hold it with another yarn to add a veil of softness and glow.
This is the yarn for heirloom shawls, gossamer scarves, and moments when you want your stitches to feel as light as breath and as lasting as a memory
