Drops Kid Silk yarn is a soft and airy blend of mohair and silk. The yarn has a slightly brushed finish, which gives your projects a beautiful sheen, a delicate texture and an elegant, slightly ethereal look. Some people also describe it as cosy.
The yarn is very light and has a long yardage, so even small balls go a long way. It can be used on its own for delicate, lightweight projects such as shawls, tops, shoulder warmers and feminine blouses, but it is also one of the most popular yarns to use as an accent yarn. When combined with other yarns, Drops Kid Silk can add extra softness, warmth and a more luxurious look.

Drops Kid Silk yarn is a great choice for projects where you want a light, soft and elegant look. It can be used on its own, but it’s also particularly well suited as an accent yarn alongside other yarns when you want to give your project more body, softness and a beautiful mohair sheen.
Drops Kid Silk is often used in combination with other yarns to make a project softer, cosier and more vibrant. A single strand of Kid Silk can transform the feel of an entire project and give it a more luxurious finish without necessarily making it heavy.

Yarn requirements depend very much on whether Drops Kid Silk is used on its own, in multiple strands or as an accent yarn alongside another yarn. You should therefore always use the specific pattern as a guide when ordering yarn.
Drops Kid Silk comes in 25-gram balls, each measuring approximately 210 metres. This means the yarn goes a long way, but the amount used changes quickly if the pattern calls for two, three or four strands to be worked together.
