The glowing silk core of Shibui Knits Silk Cloud shines through a halo of translucent mohair, giving anything you make fantastic stitch definition and drape with this laceweight yarn. Silk Cloud is comprised of 60% Kid Mohair with 40% Silk giving this Lace-weight yarn an incredible feel.
If you combine Silk Cloud with Tosh Merino Light using the same colorways you will be able create some beautiful garments such as sweaters, wraps, and shawls as seen in the photos. The gold-colored shawl (using Prickly Pear yarns) was crocheted by one of our employees for Shibui for this rollout.
