It's a wonderfully unusual and striking yarn from Sesia. Combining \u003cstrong\u003eshimmering viscose, superkid mohair and silk\u003c\/strong\u003e in a structured, lightweight yarn that catches light like nothing else. And soooo squishy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glossy viscose forms a fine chain around a soft, airy core of mohair and silk to give Selene its distinctive balance of \u003cstrong\u003eluminosity, softness and substance\u003c\/strong\u003e. Metallic gloss and gently hazy, but with considerably more stitch definition and body than a conventional mohair-and-silk lace yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the contrast between the fibres that makes it so interesting. The smooth viscose catches the light like metal, while the superkid mo creates a soft halo around the knitted fabric. The silk adds further softness and lustre without making the yarn feel heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorked in stocking stitch, Selene produces fabric with a subtle surface texture and a beautiful shifting sheen. And it's an exceptional choice for cables and textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003e175 metres in each 50g ball\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is a lovely choice for sweaters, statement accessories, cowls \u0026amp; hats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a laceweight brushed mohair, Selene doesn't need to be held together with another yarn to create a usable garment fabric. Knit all on its own, let the unusual construction, soft halo and light-reflecting surface to do all the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mohair used in Selene is \u003cstrong\u003eRMS-certified Superkid Mohair\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Responsible Mohair Standard addresses animal welfare, responsible land management and traceability through the certified supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFibre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59% Viscose, 29% Superkid Mohair, 12% Silk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponsible Mohair Standard (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBall Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175m \/ 191yds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Needle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 - 5.5mm (US 8 - 9)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Crochet Hook\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 – 5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox 20–23 stitches per 10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViscose chain with a soft mohair and silk core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand wash at a low temperature and dry flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeedle size and gauge are suggestions only.
