Ella Rae Yarns Silky Kid in Paprika 25

Paprika boasts a rich, orange-red hue. It's both earthy and strikingly bold.

Mohair silk blends, particularly in lace weight yarn, are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. This yarn is ideal for crafting elegant, lightweight apparel and accessories that are as practical as they are attractive.

Silky Kid lace weight mohair and silk blend yarn is known for its luxurious qualities and unique characteristics:

  1. Softness: The blend of mohair and silk results in a texture that is exceptionally soft and smooth, providing a gentle touch to the skin.
  2. Sheen: Silk imparts a lovely luster to yarn, bestowing a delicate and sophisticated radiance upon your completed crafts.
  3. Lightweight: Lace weight yarn is exceptionally light and airy, making it ideal for knitting and crocheting delicate and detailed items such as lace shawls and wraps.
  4. Warmth: Despite its lightweight nature, mohair offers excellent insulation, ensuring warmth without adding bulk.
  5. Durability: Silk enhances the strength and longevity of yarn, ensuring the durability of your projects.
  6. Halo Effect: Mohair fibers lend a soft, fuzzy aura to silk, imparting a whimsical, ethereal aspect to the fabric.
  7. Drape: The combination of mohair and silk creates a fabric with a lovely drape, giving your projects an elegant flow and graceful movement.

This type of yarn is perfect for creating luxurious, lightweight garments and accessories that are both beautiful and functional.

A very subtle shine where the silk wraps around the kid mohair. No matter how cold it is, this mohair and silk blend keeps a cushion of warm air. Double strand with a US#8 needle, using a worsted weight pattern, and you will be amazed. Not only will it knit and crochet up fast, but it will also totally amaze you with the end result. You can also add it to another yarn of any size, without have to change the needle or hook size, and it should not affect your gauge. But the overall appearance will have a halo, and the project itself will be warmer.
