Exquisitely lustrous fingering weight kid mohair yarn with a silk center core. Silky-soft to the touch and a pleasure to work with. Knits up beautifully in all sorts of delicate designs with lace and cables; ideal for intricate patterns or in combination with other yarns. Lovely for weddings and special events. Create luxurious sweaters and shawls. Knits up beautifully with a silky hand, lovely against the skin, and very easy to work with because of the higher silk content.
Great for yarn dyers, this yarn uses the same 100% protein based dye process used to dye silks and wools.
This yarn is available in Lilac and Natural White.
