Biches & Bûches Le Petit Silk Mohair

A cloud-like halo of Italian silk and sustainable mohair. Le Petit Silk & Mohair is a luxurious blend of mulberry silk and super Kid mohair. This lace-weight yarn is exceptionally soft, luminous, and airy, designed specifically to coordinate with the Biches & Bûches lambswool palette. Whether knit alone for a gossamer-light accessory or held together with another yarn, it adds a sophisticated glow and a cozy "halo" to your fabric.

The Ultimate Texture Transformer

Le Petit Silk & Mohair is the "secret ingredient" in the Biches & Bûches aesthetic. When held together with a strand of wool, it transforms the fabric into something incredibly plush and high-fashion. While it is delicate when knit single-stranded (perfect for airy shawls), it provides surprising warmth and strength when layered.
