The Biches & Bûches Le Petit Silk & Mohair is the finest blend of 30% silk and 70% kid mohair from Italy. Available here at The Woolly Thistle in many shades, most of which, coordinate with a shade of Le Petit Lambswool.

Knit with Le Petit Silk & Mohair by itself or combine a strand of it with a strand of Le Petit Lambswool and you'll have a project that is dreamy soft with a gentle halo to it. There are many wonderful patterns that use this technique including the Ranunculus by Midori Hirose & Circe by Natasja Hornby (Linked patterns are available on Ravelry.)
So easy to knit with and very soft. I am not sure I would enjoy knitting with any other mohair type yarn now. Martha in the shop told me I would love it and she was right!

Somehow i ordered the wrong color. I think this beige will create an almost invisible halo to something special. A happy mistake, perhaps?
