SILKY KID | Usambara RMS
SILKY KID | Usambara RMS
I am a delicate blend of premium mohair and mulberry silk in a stunning array of colours. I'm soft as a cloud and add a lovely light and airy feel to your knitting projects. I'm proudly working towards becoming one of the first yarn brands with an RMS or Responsible Mohair Standard certification and soon all my colours will carry this cool cred.
I'm happy dancing on your needles solo and when held double I'm a pillowy dream. But I'm also the perfect partner to your other yarns and together we make beautifully soft sweaters, cardis, scarves or beanies. I bring the mad fluff!

Need some KNITSPIRATION to get your cast on?
Your knitting style is unique to you. We always recommend knitting a swatch first to ensure you achieve the correct gauge for your chosen pattern.
We do our best to give you an accurate snap of our beautiful fabric and yarn but we know (from experience) that screen displays can be misleading and nothing beats seeing and feeling it in person. This is why we offer samples for purchase, so you can feel confident in your choices.
Why I'm Better
Why I'm Better
RMS or Responsible Mohair Standard addresses animal welfare and environmental and social responsibility. It is a voluntary standard developed by Textile Exchange, a global non-profit organization, that requires all sites in the mohair supply chain to meet certain benchmark criteria to be certified. RMS mohair signifies companies taking real steps to identify and improve practices on their farms and their business.
