Kid Silk: the yarn that combines the luster of Kid Mohair with the drape of Mulberry Silk

Behind every exceptional yarn lies a formula that defines it. In the Kid Silk quality, that formula is 72% Kid Mohair (28.5 mic.) and 28% Mulberry Silk.

In this composition, the majority weight of Kid Mohair ensures active warmth and natural luster, while the Mulberry Silk introduces the silky drape and contact comfort that make customers never want to put the garment down.

What makes Kid Mohair unique?

Kid Mohair is the specialty fiber obtained from the first shearings of the angora kid, when the fiber diameter reaches its finest point (28.5 microns in the case of Kid Silk).

This fineness is what sets it apart from any other mohair variety on the market, offering properties such as:

• Extreme lightness: allows garments to be constructed with great visual and thermal presence at a very low weight. 
• Natural luster without treatment: unlike fibers that require chemical finishing to achieve luminosity, Kid Mohair generates it inherently. 
• Excellent color retention: its affinity with dyes produces intense, deep, and stable colors that do not degrade with wear or washing.

What does Mulberry Silk bring to this blend?

Mulberry Silk is the highest-quality silk available in the global textile market. Produced by the Bombyx mori silkworm fed exclusively on white mulberry leaves, its filaments are longer, more uniform, and more lustrous than any other silk variety. 

• Drape and fluidity: silk transforms the way a garment moves on the body. It provides a fluid, natural drape that mohair alone cannot achieve. 
• Contact softness: its smooth, continuous surface eliminates any sensation of itchiness. 
• Active thermoregulation: it regulates body temperature in both directions, maintaining warmth in winter and freshness in warmer seasons.

The direct impact of Kid Silk on your production chain

We know that a fiber's properties only hold real value when they translate into concrete advantages within the production chain. The benefits of Kid Silk can be measured at every stage: 

• In the knitting process: The fineness of Kid Mohair and the regularity of Mulberry Silk produce a yarn with predictable machine behavior. Less friction, fewer breaks, and more stable tension translate into higher production speed and less setup time between batches.
• In quality control: The lot-to-lot consistency of Kid Silk significantly reduces color and texture variations that generate internal rejections. Every cone delivers the same properties as the previous one, eliminating uncertainty.

What to create with Kid Silk?

Its composition makes it versatile within the luxury segment, adapting to applications that require both visual presence and wearing comfort: 

• Evening and special occasion knitwear: the drape and luminosity of silk elevate any silhouette, creating garments with immediate visual impact. 
• Lightweight transitional layers: jackets, wraps, and shawls. 
• High perceived-value accessories: scarves, stoles, and neck pieces.

Real case: how Kid Silk transformed a transitional collection

A women's fashion brand was looking for a yarn that would solve a specific problem: their spring-summer transitional collections lacked an input that communicated luxury immediately. The materials they were using were technically correct but visually neutral, which forced the sales team to spend more time justifying the price to wholesale buyers. By incorporating Kid Silk into their accessories and lightweight layers line, the change was visible on three fronts: 

In the showroom: wholesale buyers reacted spontaneously to the feel of the product before receiving any technical information. The average negotiation time decreased because the value argument was immediate and tangible. In production: the yarn's regularity eliminated the tension issues they had with their previous mohair supplier, reducing machine setup time by 25% and improving yield per cone. 

In sell-through: pieces made with Kid Silk recorded the highest full sell-through rate of the season, with virtually zero returns due to unmet expectations. The end consumer received exactly what they had perceived at the point of sale. 

The result was a more profitable collection, a more efficient sales process, and a brand with a quality positioning that its own customers now communicate organically.
