Ever worked with mohair that felt too scratchy or unpredictable? This silk and kid mohair blend from Swiss Mountain Silk is luxuriously soft and beautifully balanced, bringing together the glow of silk with just the right hint of mohair texture and halo, perfect for lacework, lightweight garments, or layered accessories.
PROMOTION
DESCRIPTION
Itās easy to fall in love with the idea of mohair, but finding one that doesnāt overpower your stitches or irritate the skin can be tricky. Sometimes it clings too much, or lacks the drape needed for delicate work. That feeling of doubt in your yarn choice can quietly linger, especially when you're planning something light, airy, and beautiful.
This silk and kid mohair blend from Swiss Mountain Silk puts that hesitation to rest. With 67% silk, 23% kid mohair, and a touch of polyamide for strength, it offers the best of all worlds: softness, shimmer, and just the right halo. The mohair adds texture and warmth, while the silk gives your fabric body, fluidity, and a gentle glow. It feels refined but never precious, made for makers who want elegance with ease.
Once youāve knit, woven, or crocheted with it, youāll notice the sense of freedom that comes from trusting your materials. Your stitches lie where they should. Your hands relax. And your finished piece carries not just your creative energy, but a quiet confidence in every thread.

Yes! The high silk content (67%) gives this yarn a natural sheen, enhancing the elegance of finished projects. The silk also contributes to smooth drape and luxurious texture.
What needle size is recommended for knitting with this yarn?
The recommended needle size varies depending on the project, but typically ranges from 3.5mm ā 5mm (US 4ā8). Larger needles create a light, airy fabric, while smaller needles enhance structure and stitch definition. Swatching is recommended.
Is this yarn suitable for crochet projects?
Yes! The Silk/Kid Mohair Blend 7/2 can be used for crochet, especially for delicate lacework, scarves, and elegant accessories. The halo effect of mohair softens the look, adding a unique texture to crocheted shawls and wraps.
Does the yarn have good stitch definition?
The blend of silk and mohair offers moderate stitch definition, but the mohair halo slightly blurs the edges of intricate stitches. This makes it ideal for soft, flowing fabrics, though lacework may require extra blocking for clear stitch patterns.
