SILKY MOHAIR BY KATIA

Mohair and silk yarn for light and elegant garments

Katia Silky Mohair is a delicate, luminous, and very special yarn for those looking to knit garments with an elegant finish without sacrificing lightness. Its blend of Superkid mohair, extra-fine merino, silk, and viscose creates a soft, airy yarn with a subtle sheen that captivates from the first ball.
