The soft mohair halo adds depth, while the silk core catches the light with a gentle sheen. These 20g mini skeins are ideal for colourwork, stripes, borders or adding a luxurious touch to a larger project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotos were a problem on this very rich teal\/blue colourway - it needs to be seen!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShui Yun – Mohair \u0026amp; Silk Laceweight Yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShui Yun is a light, airy blend of 65% kid mohair and 35% silk, combining the soft halo of fine mohair with the gentle sheen and strength of a silk core. The yarn creates a beautifully soft fabric with warmth but very little weight, making it ideal for adding texture, depth and a subtle haze of colour to knitted and crocheted projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse Shui Yun on its own for fine, ethereal lacework, or hold it together with another yarn to add softness, halo and colour variation. It pairs particularly well with 4 ply\/fingering yarns, adding a soft bloom without significantly changing the weight of the finished fabric. Two strands may also be held together for a fuller, more substantial fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShui Yun is hand dyed in small batches, creating subtle variations between skeins. For larger projects using more than one skein, alternating skeins will help blend these natural variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFibre:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65% Kid Mohair, 35% Silk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 ply \/ Laceweight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 420 metres per 50g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkein sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• 20g – approximately 168 metres\u003cbr\u003e• 50g – approximately 420 metres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested needle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested hook size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate gauge when used alone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–28 stitches per 10 cm, depending on needle size and the openness of the fabric.
