Luscious, lightweight and seriously luxurious. It’s tough to accurately describe the sensation that’s Cowgirlblues’ Kidsilk…if you know, you know 😉

It’s the ultimate blend of kid mohair and silk. And as a yarn it’s spectacular. But colour choices are important too. Our colour palette might make that difficult, but you can’t really go wrong.

Beautiful blues inspired by cloudless skies and sparkling ocean views - breathtaking Cape Town in all her glory! 🌊💙

Merino DK is a soft, double knitting weight 100% Merino superwash yarn that knits up with beautiful stitch definition. It’s perfect for sweaters, great for beanies, and really beautiful for shawls too.

Pictured here is our Cowgirlblues Merino DK base, but remember, these captivating colours are available across all our bases! ✨
