KIDMO SILK LACE: Approximately 50g/465 yards 72/28 superkid mohair/silk. This is a 2-ply laceweight yarn.
These were kettle-dyed a splotchy tonal tan/blush then speckled with teal, turquoise, gold, ochre and 2 large spots of vermillion on each hank. They are quite variegated and each is unique though all share the same colours. Note that heavily speckled colourways usually vary from batch to batch and from hank to hank within a batch.
Silky, hazy, strong, soft, warm! Kid mohair at its loveliest - use this held together with another base for a silky halo or by itself as an accent for interesting contrast in your work. Either way, it’s a luxurious blend and a joy to knit (and pet!).
While this base readily sucks up dye, its texture doesn’t allow for distinct speckling, so colourways are more mottled or variegated. Also, mohair does not gain much size with blocking so please keep that in mind when planning your project.
For a long, gorgeous life gently hand wash your garment in tepid water, shape a little while wet and lay flat to dry.
