Ella Rae Yarns Silky Kid in Iceberg 28
Iceberg is a soft dusty medium to medium-light blue with a delicate sheen where the silk encases the kid mohair. 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:
- Softness: A blend of mohair and silk creates a texture that is exceptionally soft and smooth, offering a gentle caress to the skin.
- Sheen: Silk provides a beautiful sheen to the yarn, giving your finished crafts a delicate and sophisticated glow.
- Lightweight: Lace weight yarn is incredibly light and airy, perfect for creating delicate and intricate items like lace shawls and wraps.
- Warmth: Mohair, while lightweight, provides excellent insulation, ensuring warmth without the bulk.
- Durability: The addition of silk strengthens and extends the life of the yarn, ensuring the longevity of your creations.
- Halo Effect: The mohair fibers give silk a soft, fuzzy halo, adding a whimsical, ethereal quality to the fabric.
- Drape: Mohair and silk together produce a fabric with a beautiful drape, lending an elegant flow and graceful movement to your projects.
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.
