Our Friends Kid Silk is a magnificent combination of kid mohair, silk, and a tiny bit of wool.
The kid mohair fibers come from the young angora goats, making it the finest quality of mohair there is. Hence, the yarn appears thin, lightweight, uniform, shiny, fluffy, and totally free of impurities.
Thanks to these characteristics, projects created with this yarn will not wrinkle or stretch and will be able to keep you warm during the wintertime while being lightweight.
Friends Kid Silk is produced in Italy and comes in a great variety of lively and neutral colors. You can work with a single thread for a more airy effect, or you can use multiple threads to achieve a fuller look. Friends Kid Silk is extremely versatile and can, of course, also be paired with another yarn to add softness and fluff to your project. The result will be definitely outstanding and elegant.
Need some inspiration for your next project? We recommend using our Friends Kid Silk for featherweight shawls, shrugs, and scarves, as well as hats, pullovers, and cardigans.
Add a touch of luxury to your creations with this lovely mohair yarn.

Highly rate this yarn! I'd not worked with such a fine strand of mohair before, but the results were amazing. I held it doubled up with some Friends Extra Fine Merino and love the special fluffy texture it creates as well as that slight variety in colour. And the range of colours is just spectacular! They pair perfectly within the Friends range if you want an exact match, or otherwise help to soften the tones beautifully. It's soft and gentle, but does still cause a few itches on my skin personally. Would definitely recommend overall.

Gorgeous colours, adds elegance to my projects and my stash! Wouldn’t usually buy mohair, but it’s definitely grown on me and become a favourite. Warmer than it seems!
