⌁ Texture & Feel:
• Light, airy, and feathery
• Gentle halo from mohair with the strength and sheen of silk
• Cord-like chainette structure provides volume and shape retention

➤ Recommended Uses:
• Ethereal sweaters, cardigans, and lacework
• Lightweight scarves, wraps, and airy shawls
• Luxury crochet pieces
• Textural accents in weaving or layered knits

✧ 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

• Long sleeve sweater: 350–500 g
• Shawl: 100–200 g
• Scarf: 100–250 g

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.

PLEACE 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 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.

Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
