Qing Fibre Kid Silk Mohair, Holly Berry — Hand-Dyed Young Mohair / Silk, 919yd / 3.5oz

A Christmas-window of a skein. Holly-berry red, pine and moss green, a flash of aqua like winter sky through bare branches, all softened by Qing Fibre’s signature halo. Two matched skeins from one dye day.

The red sits in the foreground like fruit on the bush; behind it, pine and dark moss greens pool into one another; and where the dyer let the cream undyed mohair breathe, a ribbon of aqua catches the eye — the cold-sky moment in an otherwise warm-blooded colourway. Knit alone it reads as a painterly holiday shawl; held over a cream or charcoal fingering, the red leaps forward and the greens turn into a quiet evergreen backdrop. The two skeins are a true match: buy them together for a yoke or a generous wrap, or split them between a hat and a matching scarf.

This listing is for one full skein. We have 2 skeins of Holly Berry — holly red, pine green, aqua flash, cream in stock; buy one or both. Each skein is approximately 100 g / 3.5 oz / 840 m / ~919 yards, laceweight Qing Fibre Kid Silk Mohair.

About the base. Qing Fibre Kid Silk Mohair is a British-spun, hand-dyed luxury laceweight — 70% young mohair / 30% spun silk, 100 g / 840 m (~919 yards) per skein. Young mohair gives a softer, finer halo than standard kid mohair — the kind that catches light around a stitch without scratching at the neck. The spun silk core takes dye with a deeper, wetter saturation than standard silk-mohair bases, which is why every Qing Fibre colourway reads as painted rather than printed. Worked solo it knits up airy and translucent — the colour floats in a cloud rather than sitting on a strand. Held double with a fingering or sport, it adds a halo of colour over a plainer base, the way watercolour adds depth over a pencil sketch.
