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. This yarn is stunningly soft with a lovely halo and also has a delicate shine from the silk. A soft and strong yarn that will make knitting a joy with every stitch.

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.)
I have not started my project yet, but the skeins feel so soft and the color is exactly as stated on the website. Looking forward to starting my project.

Cuddly soft fabric
I was slow to get on the mohair knitting band wagon. But now that I've started I want to knit more with it. I'm knitting the "Stockholm Slipover" by PetiteKnit. I've paired it with Shetland wool (which is a little scratchy) and I think it's makes a beautiful soft fabric.
