Description
KIRK CLOUD is an exceptionally soft and airy Italian luxury yarn crafted from 75% Cashmere and 25% Super Kid Mohair. This refined blend combines the warmth and elegance of cashmere with the delicate halo and lightness of kid mohair, resulting in a fabric that feels both cloud-like and structured.
Spun as a non-combed yarn, KIRK CLOUD retains a natural loft and softness, enhancing its ability to bloom beautifully after washing and blocking. Despite its fingering classification, the yarn offers visual depth and texture due to the mohair content.
