Add a touch of magic to your creations with Lilt!
Super soft and feather light, Lilt is a blend of the finest kid mohair and pure, luminous mulberry silk. Crafted in Italy especially for Bendigo Woollen Mills, this laceweight, 2-ply yarn is gossamer-light with a gentle drape and an elegant sheen. The mohair lends a delicate halo and airy volume to every stitch, while the silk core adds luminosity and strength.
Whether used on its own to create floaty shawls and oh-so-light garments, or held together with another yarn, Lilt brings softness and an ethereal quality to every project. Experience the art of fine yarn with Lilt: where softness meets sophistication.
Want to use Lilt with another BWM yarn?
You can hold Lilt together with any of our Bendigo Woollen Mills yarns to make your favourite patterns. You can 'match' the colours or contrast the colours for a marled effect...your only limit is your imagination!
Due to the halo of the mohair, it performs a little differently than other yarns you'd hold together, giving the combined yarn more density than you might expect. We'd recommend swatching before commencing a project to get a sense of the finished 'fabric' you'll be creating, but as a guide:
- A 4 ply yarn held with one strand of Lilt would usually work with a 8 ply project
- An 8 ply yarn held with Lilt could work with a 10 ply or 12 ply project.
