- 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 without being bulky.
- 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 yarn, adding a dreamy, ethereal quality to your work.
- Drape: The blend of mohair and silk results in a yarn with 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 up fast, it will 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 effect your gauge. But the overall appearance will have a halo, and the project itself will be warmer.
