Exquisitely lustrous fingering weight kid mohair yarn with a silk center core. Silky-soft to the touch and a pleasure to work with. Knits up beautifully in all sorts of delicate designs with lace and cables; ideal for intricate patterns or in combination with other yarns. Easier to work with because of it's higher silk content. Create luxurious sweaters and shawls.
The Natural White color is great for yarn dyers: this yarn uses the same 100% protein based dye process used to dye silks and wools.
