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, 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.
