Ella Rae Yarns Silky Kid in Skydive 10
The gentle hue of soft dusty blue brings to mind the tranquility and nostalgia of a time long past. This gentle shade is calming and sweet.
Silky Kid lace weight mohair and silk blend yarn is known for its luxurious qualities and unique characteristics:
- Softness: The combination of mohair and silk creates an incredibly soft and smooth texture, making it gentle on the skin.
- Sheen: Silk adds a beautiful sheen to the yarn, giving your finished projects a subtle, elegant glow.
- Lightweight: As a lace weight yarn, it is very light and airy, perfect for delicate and intricate patterns like lace shawls and wraps.
- Warmth: Despite its lightness, mohair provides excellent insulation, keeping you warm yet extremely lightweight.
- Durability: Silk contributes to the strength and durability of the yarn, ensuring that your projects will last.
- Halo Effect: Mohair fibers create a soft, fuzzy halo around the silk, adding a dreamy, ethereal quality to your work.
- Drape: The blend of mohair and silk results in a beautiful drape, allowing your projects to flow and move gracefully.
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. This is the one yarn I can wear up next to my neck. 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.
