💡 Tips & Recommendations:
• This yarn creates a soft, hazy halo when knit loosely, and becomes denser and more sculptural when knit tightly—perfect for experimenting with tension and stitch definition.
• It looks especially beautiful in simple lace patterns, drop stitches, or garter stitch where the texture shines.
• Pair it with smooth yarns like silk or merino to add body or deepen color—especially in multi-strand projects.
• The natural sheen of the silk reflects light while the mohair adds softness, giving colors a delicate, glowing depth.
• Chainette yarns are more durable than brushed mohair or singles, making this yarn a great choice for garments you'll wear often.
• Ideal for warm-weather layering pieces but also lovely when doubled or paired with wool for cooler-weather knits.

🧷 Recommended Needles/Hooks:
• Knitting: US 3–5 / 3.25–3.75 mm
• Crochet: 3.0–4.0 mm
• Use 1–2 threads depending on fabric density; holds up beautifully doubled for a soft mohair sweater

🧵 Weaving Suitability:
• Excellent for weft; adds light texture and loft
• Suitable for mixed-material weaving and decorative applications
• Chainette structure keeps it from collapsing under tension

📸 Please Note
📍 Final weight may vary slightly (±2–3g), as yarn is hand-wound and measured individually for each order.
📍 The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
📍 Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I highly recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the yarn’s texture and finish.
