Knitting for Olive | Soft Silk Mohair
70% RMS-Certified Kid Mohair, 30% Cruelty-Free Mulberry Silk
Knitting for Olive’s Soft Silk Mohair is exactly what it sounds like—soft, light, and a little bit dreamy. It’s made from 70% RMS-certified kid mohair and 30% cruelty-free mulberry silk, giving it that lovely fluff and gentle strength that makes lace-weight projects such a joy to work with.
You can knit it on its own for something sheer and delicate, hold it double for a bit more warmth and body, or blend it with merino for a gorgeous texture and depth of colour. With over 80 shades to choose from, there’s something here for every mood, season, and idea you want to bring to life.
This yarn is also made with care, both for animals and the planet. The mohair is traceable and RMS-certified, which means it meets high standards for animal welfare, land stewardship, and worker wellbeing. The silk comes from cocoons that have already opened, letting the moths fly free before the fibres are collected. It’s a slower, more considered process, but one that honours the lives behind the yarn.
Whether you're making something light and lacy or adding a soft halo to your favourite knits, this yarn brings a gentle touch, with a thoughtful story behind it.
