Silky Kid | RMS-certified yarn | Mohair x mulberry silk blend

Looking for the best mohair lace yarn for adding elegance and softness to your next make?

Silky Kid is a lace-weight (2ply) yarn spun in South Africa from 72% RMS-certified kid mohair and 28% mulberry silk, a luxurious blend that combines dreamy fuzz, radiant sheen and ethical sourcing in one exquisite skein. Whether held single for a wispy finish or combined with another yarn for depth and dimension, Silky Kid brings texture, lightness and grace to every stitch.

If you’ve been wondering where to buy mohair yarn in Australia or searching for the perfect fuzzy yarn to elevate your lacework, Silky Kid is your new go-to.

A Yarn with a Story

Silky Kid is one of the first mohair yarns to be certified by the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), which ensures animal welfare, land protection and ethical production from farm to fibre. The kid mohair is carefully sourced from South African farms, then blended with high-quality mulberry silk to create a yarn that is as responsible as it is luxurious.

Its soft halo and weightless feel make it ideal for lace knitting, delicate crochet and modern layering pieces. Plus, the hand-selected colour palette is designed to pair beautifully with solid yarns, opening up endless options for mixing and matching.

Why You’ll Love It

Silky Kid is a staple for lace lovers and mohair enthusiasts. It’s light as air but full of character with a soft glow from the silk and that signature mohair fluff that adds an ethereal quality to every project.

You’ll love:

The RMS-certified kid mohair for ethical softness
The silk core for subtle sheen and strength
The lace-weight (2ply) structure for delicate, airy fabrics
The beautiful halo that adds softness and depth
Its versatility. Hold it single, double or pair with other yarns
The elegant colour palette that complements solids perfectly

Whether you’re knitting a featherlight shawl or giving a sweater that extra glow, this is the yarn to reach for.

Spun with Purpose

At Fancy Yarns Australia, we’re passionate about fibres that not only look and feel beautiful but carry purpose and care from farm to finish. Silky Kid reflects that philosophy in every strand: responsibly sourced, lovingly spun and ready to be transformed into something magical by your hands.

This yarn proves that sustainable mohair doesn’t have to be stiff or scratchy; it can be soft, shimmering and full of soul.

So if you’re looking for the best mohair lace yarn for knitting, or a mohair 2ply yarn that elevates every project it touches, Silky Kid is it.
