Gepard Yarn Kid Silk 5
This exquisite yarn, Kid Silk Five, has a uniquely soft texture. It allows for speedy knitting of a delicate mohair garment using 5 mm needles, or you can double up on the yarn and use 8 mm needles. For a single yarn project, 4-6 skeins of Kid Silk Five are needed, while a double strand yarn project will require 6-10 skeins. The silk threads glide effortlessly along your fingers and needle, making it feel like you're only using one strand.
Although Kid Silk 5 is categorised as a laceweight yarn, it creates a much fluffier and chunkier knit compared to Gepard Kid Seta. This makes it perfect for using as a single strand option..
