Superkid Mohair Silk Yarn, RIGO SILKID, Luxury Italian Fluffy Lace Yarn, Balls or Cones, 850m/100g

One incredibly fine mohair thread. Endless creative possibilities!

RI.GO SILKID is an exceptionally fine Italian yarn combining 70% Superkid Mohair and 30% Silk. With an impressive 850 meters per 100 grams, this airy, fluffy yarn is not only beautiful on its own — it is an extraordinary companion yarn that opens up endless possibilities for creative knitting.

What makes SILKID so special is its fineness. You can add a single strand to almost any favorite yarn to introduce a delicate mohair halo, gentle warmth, and beautiful softness without dramatically changing the thickness of your fabric.

Pair it with merino for a cozy, softly textured sweater, cashmere for an exceptionally luxurious combination, silk for an elegant, airy fabric, or linen for an interesting contrast between natural structure and fluffy softness. You can even experiment with several fine strands of different fibers, creating your own unique yarn combination.

SILKID gives you the freedom to play with fibers, textures, colors, and thicknesses. Use one strand, combine several strands of SILKID, or mix it with other yarns to create something entirely your own. This is the kind of yarn that invites creativity!

Needles & Care
• Needle Selection: Mohair-silk yarn can be knitted at different gauges depending on the desired fabric. The final needle size should account for all strands used together.
• Care: Gently hand wash in cool water with detergent suitable for delicate animal fibers. Do not rub, wring, or twist. Reshape and dry flat.
• Swatching: Knit and wash a sample of your chosen yarn combination to evaluate softness, drape, halo, and final gauge before starting your project.

Suggested Projects
SILKID is an especially versatile choice for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, and lightweight layering pieces.

For a delicate, almost weightless shawl, work a single strand on larger needles to create an open, airy fabric. For a fuller mohair sweater, combine two or three strands.

Its greatest creative potential, however, lies in combining it with other yarns. Add SILKID to a classic merino cardigan, introduce a soft halo to a cashmere sweater, or experiment with silk and linen for unexpected textures.

Whether you are following a pattern or developing your own design, SILKID allows you to customize the character of your fabric — from softly brushed and delicate to fuller, warmer, and beautifully textured.
