Detailed description
This hand-dyed mohair and silk yarn is a delicate and luxurious blend, prized for its incredible softness, lightness, and gentle halo. Composed of 72% kid mohair and 28% silk, it offers an ideal balance of warmth, drape, and subtle sheen.
Each skein is hand-dyed by Tisse et File, resulting in nuanced, softly variegated colors. These gentle variations enhance the texture of the fabric and make every project unique, whether woven or knitted.
Silk contributes fluidity and durability, while kid mohair creates an airy, cloud-like texture that envelops the textile. This yarn is particularly well suited for stoles, shawls, scarves, and other refined, lightweight pieces.
The yarn is non-superwash and has undergone no chemical treatment, preserving the natural qualities of the fibers. Gentle handling is recommended.
