Silk / Kid Mohair Blend 7/2 | Swiss Mountain Silk
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.
It’s easy to fall in love with the idea of mohair, but finding one that doesn’t 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 you’ve knit, woven, or crocheted with it, you’ll 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.
