About Madelinetosh Tosh Silk Cloud

Tosh Silk Cloud is a laceweight blend of 60% kid mohair and 40% silk, with 328 yards in each 25 g skein. It comes in Madelinetosh's hand-dyed colors.

It has a soft, airy halo over a silk core. The higher silk content gives it a bit more sheen than many mohair-silks. On its own, it makes a sheer, floating fabric. Held with another yarn, it softens and deepens the color underneath.

It's for knitters who want to add depth or blend colors across a project, and for anyone making dreamy shawls, scarves or a fuzzy layer on a sweater. If you want a Rowan alternative, Kidsilk Haze is a close match.

Best for

  • Held with a fingering or DK yarn for a halo sweater
  • Sheer, lightweight shawls
  • Airy scarves and wraps
  • Blending two colorways together

Working with it

The listed needle is US 7, at about 5 stitches per inch, but mohair-silk works across a wide range. Larger needles make an open, gauzy fabric, and smaller ones a denser haze. When holding it with another yarn, swatch with both strands together. Mohair is hard to rip back, so add lifelines in lace. Our mohair guide has more tips.

Care

The catalog doesn't list care instructions. For mohair and silk, hand wash is safest: soak in cool water with a gentle wool wash, press out water in a towel, and dry flat. Shake lightly when dry to lift the halo.
