Silk blend yarn is used for knitting and crocheting luxurious, lightweight, yet warm garments. Silk provides products with strength, elasticity, and a luxurious sheen. The most popular is mohair-silk yarn, which is used to create fluffy, elegant, and soft sweaters, cardigans, capes, and shawls.
Main properties and benefits of silk yarn:
Thermoregulation: Silk perfectly retains heat in winter and cools in summer, making it suitable for both cold and cool weather.
Softness: When blended with mohair or alpaca wool, silk softens the fiber hairs and does not irritate the skin.
Durability: Silk strands act as a strong core, so the knitwear stretches less, does not pill, and lasts longer.
Aesthetics: Silk adds a subtle sheen and helps the knitwear drape beautifully.
