Luxe + Sophistication | Kid Seta

Gepard’s Kid Seta brings together the very best of silk and super kid mohair to create an ultra soft and luxurious yarn.

Only the finest quality mohair is used in this blend. Carefully milled, the mohair is gently spun into a core of silk and brushed to produce a delicate halo.

Worked on its own Kid Seta creates a lush drapey fabric that resists creasing and wrinkles. When stranded with another yarn the mohair adds luxe and sophistication.

Best suited to hand-knit and woven fabrics, Kid Seta will impart an enduring aesthetic for timeless wardrobe pieces.

Introducing Stellaris by Kremke Soul Wool

Combining shiny viscose, hardwearing polyester, and a metallic filament, Kremke Soul Wool brings you Stellaris - a soft and fine metallic thread for textile crafting.

Stellaris can be worked on its own at a fine gauge but the real excitement begins when the metallic thread is stranded with other yarns and fibres to create unique textures and visual elements in your creative pieces.

The thin thread is easily worked alongside your base yarns to give your final fabrics - whether woven, knit or crocheted - a flicker of glitter when worn or admired.

Use it with exuberance to add an all over shimmer or just sparingly for a pop sparkle.

With its generous yardage and exciting metallic colour pallet, Stellaris by Kremke Soul Wool offers a new glittery world to explore.
