Various Kid-Silk blends
We stock the lovely Lana Gato Kid mohair/silk (75%/25%) as well as Kid Silk Haze (same blend) by Rowan. And now, new for fall 2026, is Poema Mohair. Kid Silk Haze and Lana Gato are solids that offers very different color palettes while Poema offers a gradient
.
Lana Gato and Kid Silk:
These lovely 75% kid mohair/25% silk blends can be knit alone, but are most often carried along with another yarn. In either situation, the mohair/silk provides added warmth, a lovely halo, softness, and some sheen to the finished garment.
Each ball has 232 yards. I've knit it in garter stitch for a scarf/shawl on US 6 needles for an open and airy (but not holey) fabric. Most of the popular patterns today that suggest carrying this along with another yarn in sweaters, suggest using it with a "fingering" weight yarn. The VIP, Cumbria Fingering, and Kathmandu Fingering have been popular options at the shop.
In the mitten shown in the gallery, a strand of Kid Silk is carried along with a fingering weight merino to add both softness and warmth to a light weight pair of mittens. The vest shown used 3 balls of kid silk and is a really simple pattern. It's surprising how cozy and warm this vest is over a dress, turtleneck or tee!
If you're looking for more deep and saturated jewel tones that provide the same halo, softness and warmth, check out Suri Silk (alpaca/silk blend carry-along). And if you'd like a variegated option in a kid mohair/silk blend, check out Malabrigo Mohair.
There are slightly different price points here:
Lana Gato is $18.99 per ball
Kid Silk Haze by Rowan is $19.99 per ball
They are both beautiful....its really about what color you want.
The Kid Silk Haze colors match the Felted Tweed colors (also by Rowan) perfectly.
Poema Mohair Gradient:
Same blend of kid mohair and silk, but featuring a gradient and a much bigger skein!
Each skein has 459 yards. It took just 2 ball of this yarn to knit the simple shawl shown in the gallery.. I used a US 8 needle
Price Poema Gradient - $39.95
