Silky Lace is a high-quality yarn with a silky-soft feel and a subtle sheen, available in a beautiful, nature-inspired color palette. This yarn combines extra fine merino wool with premium silk, resulting in a soft, warm, and breathable texture. Thanks to these qualities, it is perfect for lightweight sweaters and cardigans, stunning lace shawls, and delicate, feminine hats.

The yarn is Superwash-treated, which means garments made from it can be machine washed.

Each ball of Silky Lace yarn weighs 50 grams and contains 260 meters, making it very economical. For a women’s long-sleeved sweater in size EU 40, you will need approximately 5–6 balls of yarn. A hat knitted with double strand requires 1–2 balls.

In addition to lace knitting, Silky Lace performs beautifully in light textured patterns and ribbing. It can be knitted either single or double stranded, and it can also be combined with fine fluffy yarns such as Atenea or Silky Mohair, both available in the Concept by Katia collection.

The pattern for all clothes shown in the pictures can be found on the Katia website.
