Kid Silk 5 was created for knitters who want more loft and fullness than a traditional fine silk-mohair yarn.

While Kid Seta creates a delicate, elegant halo, Kid Silk 5 builds noticeably more volume around each stitch, giving garments a softer and fuller appearance.

The yarn consists of 75% kid mohair and 25% silk. The mohair provides warmth, lightness and generous loft, while the silk binds the fibres together, adding strength, flexibility and a subtle natural sheen. This balance allows the yarn to trap large amounts of air while remaining stable and easy to knit.

Kid Silk 5’s greatest strength is volume. It creates a much fuller fabric, while remaining surprisingly lightweight. The mohair fibres hold a lot of air, providing excellent insulation without unnecessary weight.

Kid Silk 5 is remarkably versatile. Worked on smaller needles it creates a dense, warm fabric ideal for winter garments. Larger needles produce an airy structure with impressive loft, making it equally suitable for sweaters, cardigans, scarves and shawls.

As a companion yarn, Kid Silk 5 is the perfect choice whenever you want more fullness than a classic silk-mohair can provide. Combined with yarns such as Woolia, Pura Lana or My Wool, it softens the stitch definition, increases loft and creates a fuller fabric while maintaining an elegant, lightweight feel.

After washing, the yarn develops even further. The mohair fibres bloom naturally, becoming softer and fuller while revealing the generous halo that characterises high-quality mohair. We therefore always recommend washing the finished garment before evaluating its final appearance.
