Apple Fiber Studio Delicious

Delicious: Hand-Dyed Kid Mohair & Silk Lace Yarn

Apple Fiber Studio Delicious is a hand-dyed lace-weight yarn made from 72% kid mohair and 28% silk, with 455 yards (416 meters) in each 50g hank. Its soft mohair halo and silk core bring airy warmth, gentle sheen and drape to knitting and crochet. Use it on its own for a light, cloudlike fabric, or hold it with another yarn to add softness, texture and color.

Micro-brewed in Bellingham, Washington. Delicious is dyed in small batches by our lead dyer, Andrea, and finished by hand by our Apple Yarns team. Choose a tonal or multicolor shade for a floaty wrap, or imagine your favorite sweater yarn with a soft halo that makes it feel entirely new.

Why Choose Delicious?

• Airy warmth: Kid mohair creates a lush halo without a heavy fabric.
• Silk sheen and drape: The silk core adds subtle shine and fluid movement.
• Versatile lace weight: Knit alone, use two strands together, or pair with another yarn.
• Hand-dyed color: Tonal and multicolor options for soft blends or striking combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I knit Delicious on its own?
Yes. Use a single strand for an airy lace-weight fabric in shawls, wraps and garments. Needle size and gauge depend on the pattern and the fabric you want.

How much do I need when holding it with another yarn?
For one strand of Delicious held throughout your project, divide the pattern's required yardage by 455 and round up to whole hanks. If using two strands of Delicious throughout, double the required yardage before dividing. Allow additional yarn for swatching.

Can Delicious be machine washed?
Follow the care instructions: hand wash in cool water with wool soap, then lay flat to dry.

Would you like us to wind your yarn?
We offer free winding for this hank; let us know when you order.
