A whisper-light halo in fearless Kaffe Fassett colour

- Exceptional 210m metreage in each 25g ball
- Seven solid shades curated by master colourist Kaffe Fassett
- Beautiful alone, doubled or carried with Rowan Felted Tweed

One of Rowan's most recognisable luxury yarns
Light as air, rich in colour and glow
Fine super kid mohair creates the softly brushed halo while silk gives the strand strength and a gentle luminous sheen. The fibres take colour differently, producing subtle tonal depth even within a solid shade.
- Airy warmth without the visual weight of a bulky yarn
- Open the fabric on larger needles for a gossamer effect
- Work more closely for defined lace and delicate accessories
- Add a strand to another yarn for halo, colour and softness
Small ball.
Remarkable reach.
Remarkable reach.
At approximately 210 metres per 25g ball, Kidsilk Haze creates volume and warmth from very little physical weight.
Where Kidsilk Haze works beautifully
Sweaters and cardigans
Create an airy statement garment alone or use multiple strands where the pattern calls for a fuller, more opaque fabric.
Carry-along colour
Hold one strand beside another yarn to soften the surface, shift the colour and add a refined mohair glow.
Seven shades chosen by Kaffe Fassett
From soft Blancmange and Meringue to vivid Petunia, Tangerine and Violet, this compact palette is designed for expressive combinations. Every tile below uses the exact image assigned to the live Direct Sewing variant.

These are solid, haloed shades rather than self-striping colourways. Screens and lighting differ, so use the shade code as your most dependable reference.
Choose the fabric, then swatch the method
Kidsilk Haze changes character depending on the number of strands and the yarn beside it. Follow the pattern first, then use these approaches to understand the possibilities.
One Strand
Airy and luminous
Ideal for lace, sheer layers and lightweight accessories. Needle size controls whether the fabric feels more defined or more open.
Two Strands
Fuller halo and colour
Two strands create a denser fabric, but they also use twice the running metreage. Calculate quantity for both strands.
Carry Along
Transform another yarn
Pair it with wool, alpaca or another base yarn to add halo and tonal depth. The combined gauge must be tested in a washed swatch.
Match it with Felted Tweed by Kaffe Fassett
The two seven-shade palettes use the same K0010 to K0016 code sequence. Pair matching codes for a considered tonal combination, or cross the codes for bolder colour play. Always swatch the two yarns together before beginning the project.

Turn pattern metreage into 25g balls
Each ball contains approximately 210m. Divide your pattern's required metreage by 210 and round up to the next whole ball. Use the exact size, gauge and strand count in your chosen pattern.
A useful reference for a small lace project, trim or one colour within a larger design.
Two separate balls also provide about 210m of fabric when the two strands are held together throughout.
Use the pattern's stated metreage rather than choosing by project type alone.
Include yarn for swatching, joins and the pattern's recommended allowance.
Carry-along tip: if Kidsilk Haze will run beside another yarn for the entire project, you generally need enough Kidsilk metreage to cover the same knitted distance. Differences in elasticity, swatching and pattern construction still matter, so calculate from the chosen design.
The halo makes gauge wonderfully flexible
Swatch for the fabric you want
Rowan gives a broad reference range of 18 to 25 stitches and 23 to 34 rows per 10cm using 3.25mm to 5mm needles. That range reflects how readily this fine yarn moves from defined lace to open, gossamer fabric.
Before committing: knit the exact pattern swatch using the planned strand count, wash it as the finished item will be washed, dry it flat and measure the relaxed fabric. A mohair halo can make unpicking slower, so a reliable swatch is especially worthwhile.
18 to 25Reference stitches per 10cm using 3.25mm to 5mm needles. The pattern gauge always takes priority.
Three decisions before you cast on
Choose the construction
Decide whether the design uses one strand, multiple strands or a carry-along yarn. This changes gauge and total metreage.
Make and wash the swatch
Check stitch count, drape, opacity, halo and how the fabric feels against the area where it will be worn.
Buy one dye lot
Calculate the full amount, add the pattern allowance and order the project quantity together where possible.

Helpful answers before you order
Is Rowan Kidsilk Haze a lace or 2 ply yarn?
Yes. It is commonly classified as lace / 2 ply. Its generous halo allows it to work over a broad needle range, so the pattern gauge and intended fabric matter more than the label alone.
How much yarn is in one ball?
Each 25g ball contains approximately 210m / 229yd.
Can I knit with one strand?
Yes. One strand creates delicate lace, sheer layers and feather-light accessories. Use the needle size and gauge specified by your pattern.
Can I hold two strands together?
Yes, when the pattern or your swatch supports it. Two strands create a fuller fabric and use twice the running metreage, so two 210m balls provide about 210m of doubled-strand knitting.
Can I carry Kidsilk Haze with another yarn?
Yes. This is one of its most popular uses. A strand can add halo, warmth and tonal depth to wool, alpaca and other base yarns. Swatch the exact combination because the gauge and handle will change.
Does it coordinate with Kaffe Fassett Felted Tweed?
Yes. The seven palettes share the K0010 to K0016 code sequence and are especially attractive together. Match identical codes for a considered tonal pairing or mix codes for stronger contrast.
Is this the colour-changing Kidsilk Haze Colour yarn?
No. These are seven solid haloed shades curated by Kaffe Fassett. Kidsilk Haze Colour is a separate long colour-repeat yarn.
Is mohair suitable for sensitive skin?
Fibre sensitivity and texture preference are personal. Kidsilk Haze uses fine super kid mohair, but no mohair yarn can be guaranteed itch-free for every wearer. Test the washed swatch against the intended area of skin.
Can I crochet with it?
Yes. It suits airy crochet lace and can be carried with another yarn. Choose a simple swatch first because the halo can soften very intricate stitch definition.
Should I buy all the yarn for my project together?
Yes, where possible. Calculate the full pattern requirement, allow for swatching and order the project quantity together to improve the chance of receiving one dye lot.
Add a luminous mohair-silk halo to your next project
Select a single statement shade, combine several for expressive colourwork or match the K code with Felted Tweed by Kaffe Fassett for a beautifully considered pairing.
