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!

• With Merino: Add a strand of SILKID to a smooth merino yarn for warmth, softness, and a delicate mohair halo.
• With Cashmere: Combine with cashmere to create an exceptionally soft fabric with additional depth and fluffy texture.
• With Silk: Pair with smooth silk yarn for an elegant combination of natural sheen and airy mohair.
• With Linen: Experiment with the contrast between linen's crisp, structured character and the soft, floating mohair fibers.
• With Multiple Fine Strands: Mix SILKID with several strands of silk, merino, cashmere, or other fine yarns to create your own customized fiber blend and fabric thickness.
• Stitch Patterns: Stockinette, garter stitch, and simple lace beautifully showcase the mohair halo. Intricate stitch details may appear softer beneath the fluffy surface.
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.
Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)
Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)
⚑ FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.
⚑ FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. Cones may be purchased separately if you prefer continuous yardage for machine knitting or multi-strand projects. One color is typically wound per cone to maintain consistency.
PLEASE BUY CONES HERE
Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.
Please Note
Please Note
- Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
- Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
- FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
- Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
