Ella Rae Yarns Silky Kid in color Midnight 01
Midnight is a very dark blue. Midnight blue projects sophistication and elegance. Knit or crochet it alone or along with other yarns. Its link with formal occasions and royalty means it conveys confidence, power and authority, while its deep hue can also come across as dark and mysterious.
If you want to pair it, match it to other less dark jewel tones or cream, silver or white.
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 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 yarn is ideal for crafting luxurious, lightweight garments and accessories that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
The silk's embrace around the kid mohair yields a very subtle sheen. 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 stranding with a US#8 needle on a worsted weight pattern can be quite astonishing. It not only knits up quickly but also yields an impressive end result. You can also combine it with another yarn of any size without needing to alter the needle or hook size, and it should not impact your gauge. The overall appearance will be elegantly haloed, and the project will be warmer.
