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.
NB: We have given Friends Kid Silk a little brush up to a slightly bigger, looser shape. The colors and quality remain the same. Please bear with us while we phase out the old stock as, during the transition, you may receive either shape.
About the Friends family

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.

OK I caved! After buying the diablo and the alpaca blaze as a slightly cheaper alternative to some patterns I decided to take the plunge and buy a couple each of rainbow colours.
Oh my yes it's slightly more expensive but you can really feel the difference. Such bright vibrant colours as well. I have MANY projects to finish first buy cant wait to get this on my hook or needles!

This is the only mohair yarn I’ve tried. I made the Winter Happiness shawl with this held double with the Sultan deluxe. It adds a gorgeous fuzzy halo to the project and a lot of warmth without any bulk or weight. You do have to be careful when frogging though, the fuzzy fibres get tangled with itself and makes it difficult to undo stitches.

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!
Tracey
Gorgeous, fluffy, delicate yarn that held as a single strand produces an impossibly light warm fabric. Excellent range of colours and knits up well.
