DESCRIPTION

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.

This yarn is composed of 67% silk, 23% kid mohair, and 10% polyamide. The silk adds strength and a luxurious sheen, while the kid mohair contributes softness, warmth, and a delicate halo. The polyamide enhances durability, making it more resistant to wear.

What is the yarn count of the Silk/Kid Mohair Blend 7/2?

The yarn count 7/2 indicates a light/medium-weight yarn with two plies, offering a smooth yet slightly textured surface. It works well for lightweight fabrics, lace knitting, and weaving.

Is the Silk/Kid Mohair Blend 7/2 yarn suitable for weaving?

Yes! This blend is ideal for weaving, providing a luxurious finish with silk's natural sheen and mohair's soft halo. It is commonly used for scarves, shawls, lightweight textiles, and artistic fabric projects.

Can I use this yarn for knitting garments?

Absolutely! The Silk/Kid Mohair Blend 7/2 is perfect for knitting garments, such as sweaters, shawls, wraps, and airy tops. It offers a soft drape, warmth, and a beautiful halo, making it ideal for layering pieces.

How should I care for items made with this yarn?

Hand washing is recommended to maintain the yarn's delicate fibers and softness. Wash in cold water with a mild wool detergent, and lay flat to dry to prevent stretching or felting. Avoid harsh agitation or heat exposure.

Does the yarn have a natural sheen?

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 – 5mm (US 4–8). 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?

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.
