  • Weight: 25 g (0.88 oz)
  • Length: 210 m (230 yd)
  • Yarn Weight: Lace

Why choose DROPS Kid-Silk?
  • Mohair-Silk Lace Weight: DROPS Kid-Silk blends 75% super kid mohair with 25% mulberry silk into a brushed lace yarn of 210 m per 25 g. Hold a strand alongside another yarn to add halo with little extra weight.
  • Airy but Grippy: On its own it knits to 23 stitches per 10 cm on 3.5 mm needles, or opens into lace on larger sizes. Mohair fibers cling together, so ripping back is slow; smooth needles and lifelines help.
  • Halo Without Weight: One strand adds a soft halo and extra warmth to a sweater or cardigan with very little added weight, while shawls and tops knitted alone stay featherlight. Hand wash at max 30°C, dry flat.
Description

DROPS Kid-Silk – Featherlight Mohair & Silk with a Dreamy Halo

DROPS Kid-Silk is the yarn behind those soft, cloud-like sweaters and shawls you see everywhere: a fine lace-weight blend of brushed super kid mohair and mulberry silk. Use it on its own for airy, romantic knits, or — the modern favourite — hold it together with another yarn to wrap any project in a warm, fuzzy halo without adding weight. One 25 g ball carries a generous 210 m, so a little goes a long way.

Why choose DROPS Kid-Silk?

  • Hold It Double: Pair a strand of Kid-Silk with almost any garment yarn to add softness, warmth and that fashionable brushed-mohair look to sweaters and cardigans.
  • Featherlight Warmth: Mohair traps air, keeping garments wonderfully warm while staying nearly weightless.
  • Luxurious Sheen: The silk core gives a subtle glow and strength that elevates every stitch.

TIPS & TRICKS

Mix & Match: In the free DROPS pattern Moonlit Ocean, one strand of Kid-Silk held with DROPS Merino Extra Fine knits to 16 stitches per 10 cm on 5 mm needles. The merino adds bounce and body, and buyers say it hides any slight mohair prickle against the skin.

FAQ

About Product

How many balls of DROPS Kid-Silk for a sweater?

An adult sweater in size M usually needs 5–7 balls of DROPS Kid-Silk when held with another yarn. You use about as many metres of mohair as of the main yarn, typically 1,000–1,400 m, and each 25 g ball holds 210 m, so 1,000–1,400 m ÷ 210 m gives 5–7 balls.

Is DROPS Kid-Silk itchy?

Most knitters find it soft, as it uses fine kid mohair with silk, but a few people with sensitive skin feel a slight tickle from any mohair. Wear a test swatch against your neck for a few minutes. If it prickles, a mohair-free fuzzy yarn such as Gazzal Navarra, made of acrylic and polyester, avoids the issue.

What yarn can I hold with DROPS Kid-Silk?

Almost any smooth yarn works. As a rule of thumb, a strand of Kid-Silk adds roughly one yarn weight, so fingering plus Kid-Silk knits like DK, and DK plus Kid-Silk like aran. DROPS Safran gives a cool cotton-mohair fabric, while DROPS Lima makes a warm winter one. Always swatch the pair together.

DROPS Kid-Silk vs DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk: which should I choose?

Choose Kid-Silk to add halo to another yarn, and Brushed Alpaca Silk for a fuzzy sweater from a single strand. Kid-Silk is lace weight, 75% mohair with 210 m per 25 g. DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk is 77% alpaca and knits alone to an aran gauge, with 140 m per 25 g.
