How to choose silk and silk-blend yarn

Silk can add sheen, strength and beautiful drape to a knitted or crocheted fabric. Mohair-silk blends create airy, softly textured fabrics, while merino-silk blends balance wool elasticity with silk's smooth handle. Compare each product's exact fibre percentages, length per 100 g and recommended gauge.

Expert tips for knitting with silk blends

Make a gauge swatch and check the drape after washing as instructed. Delicate mohair-silk yarn can be knitted alone or held together with another yarn when the pattern allows. Follow the product care label and avoid unnecessary stretching or heat.
