This wool is just incredible. Soft, warm, fine just wonderful. It reminds me of what knitting with spider silk might be like, but fluffier. The knitted yarn has a wonderful cobweb quality. I have recently been knitting with chunky wool so the change from large needles to fine ones is a real change, but there is something more satisfying, I think, knitting with very fine yarn like this. Plus I have only recently discovered woolstack. And they are fabulous too. I'm a big fan of both.

I am finding this material very easy to work with I am using a no 13 and no 7 needle and its making up into a beautiful cardigan that has a luxurious feel to it and its so soft. Like a dream
I've been using Rowan's Kidsilk Haze for years in both knit and crochet pieces. It is a lovely yarn to work with and makes a beautifully ethereal fabric - especially when making lace items. It does take some practise to use it with larger gauge needles and hooks and keep good tension, but well worth the effort.
The only reason this is a 4 and not 5 star review, is that I have found knots in skeins before and I save my 5 star rating for the super luxurious types of yarns!
Highly recommend Kidsilk Haze - especially against other mohair / silk blends.
Rowan's ever popular Kidsilk Haze is a real classic in the world of handcrafting. This is a beautiful and versatile fine yarn made from a blend of 70% super kid mohair and 30% silk. It can be used with a variety of needle sizes to create different effects and styles, and is particularly known for its sustainability for lace work. It also works magic when used alongside other yarns and is available in an array of stunning colours.
Great for: Scarves, hats, accessories, lace, shawls, lightweight garments. Works well double-stranded with Rowan Soft Yak or Felted Tweed for accessories or garments.
