Hør Silke is a yarn that naturally draws both the eye and the hands. Spun from the finest French linen and Tussah silk – a wild silk with natural variation – it creates a lively and exclusive expression. The silk adds sheen and flexibility, while the linen brings structure, durability and lightness.

The yarn is twisted and linked in a way that creates long, flexible chains. This makes Hør Silke easy to work with, allowing you to vary your gauge from dense and compact to light and transparent.

  • 3.5 mm needles gives you a classic, firm fabric
  • 5 mm needles give a more airy, almost sheer drape.

The yarn is beautiful and lively on its own, and when combined with a companion thread – such as Cashmere Lace, Cashmere Klassik or Kid Seta – it opens up new dimensions: from buttery-soft luxury to light, airy elegance.

To experience the full potential of the yarn, HørSilke should be soaked in clean water for approximately 24 hours before use. In water, the linen transforms – from slightly firm to soft and shape-stable, with a beautiful drape that follows the body. This process also enhances the silk’s sheen and creates a smooth, refined stitch definition.

This is a yarn for those who want a material that works all year round – from light summer tops and shawls to refined combinations in winter knitting. A yarn that looks and feels like true luxury, and gives value in every stitch.

The colour palette is inspired by nature and the fibres’ own character. It is elegant, timeless yet modern, with a subtle depth: the linen thread is gently melanged, while the silk carries a slightly shifted tone. The result is a quiet luxury that makes HørSilke irresistibly beautiful in knitting.
