Kid Silk 5 is a luxuriously soft yarn that offers a unique thickness in the knitting world. Perfect for creating lightweight, airy garments, it lets you knit delicate mohair pieces quickly on needles ranging from 5 mm to 8 mm, or use double strands on 8 mm needles for a slightly bolder effect.

For a single-strand knit, you’ll need 4-6 skeins for a shirt, while double-stranding requires 6-10 skeins. Despite using double yarn, the smooth silk fibers glide effortlessly through your fingers and needles, allowing the yarn to sit beautifully together without feeling bulky.
