🧵 The yarn

ELDORADO Wool by Miss Tricot Filati is a fine yarn from the Fine Yarns line, designed for those seeking a skein that combines extreme softness, natural luminosity, and weightless lightness. With its composition of 30% super kid mohair and 15% extrafine merino, this yarn offers a soft feel against the skin and a delicately brilliant appearance that enhances every stitch. Inspired by the legendary El Dorado with its gold and precious stones, ELDORADO transforms every project into a little wearable treasure.

Each skein weighs 25 grams and offers approximately 100 meters of yarn, perfect for working with n°5 needles or a n°5 crochet hook. Its lightweight format makes it ideal for luminous scarves, soft stoles, and elegant accessories that do not weigh you down but wrap you delicately. Thanks to the presence of polyamide and polyester, the yarn maintains a stable structure during working and gives that luminous reflection that catches the eye without being excessive.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 30% super kid mohair is the star fiber of this yarn: it comes from the first shearing of young angora goats and is the finest, softest, and most premium available on the market. This fiber gives the yarn that characteristic soft and weightless fuzz that makes garments made with ELDORADO enveloping without weight. Mohair catches the light naturally, creating a delicate luminous effect that enhances every color without the need for artificial treatments. It is perfect for those seeking a yarn that provides warmth without weighing you down, ideal for scarves to wear even in spring.

The 15% extrafine merino comes in to add softness and direct comfort on the skin: this premium wool, with its extremely fine fibers, eliminates the typical itchiness of traditional wools and makes the yarn suitable even for those with sensitive skin. The combination of polyamide (30%) and polyester (25%) stabilizes the yarn's structure, prevents pilling, and gives that subtle luminosity that distinguishes ELDORADO from pure mohairs. The result is a yarn that is easy to work with, maintains its shape over time, and gives a precious appearance without being fragile.

📦 Skein format and yield

Each 25-gram skein offers approximately 100 meters of yarn, an optimal yield for light and airy projects. With a single skein you can make a small scarf, a luminous border for a cardigan, or a soft neck warmer. For more structured projects like a medium stole, about 3-4 skeins are needed, while for a light size 42 sweater with short sleeves, about 6-7 are required. The lightness of the format allows you to create enveloping garments without weight: a 4-skein scarf weighs only 100 grams but offers warmth and visual presence.

We always recommend purchasing all the skeins needed for the project at once, preferably from the same color lot. Premium yarns like ELDORADO can show slight shade variations between different lots, imperceptible on the skein but visible on large surfaces like scarves or sweaters. The yardage can vary by ±5 meters per skein: this is a normal tolerance for artisanal yarns of this quality, which does not compromise the success of the project if you buy a spare skein for large projects.

🧶 Recommended working

n°5 needles are the ideal size for ELDORADO because they create an airy knit that allows the mohair fuzz to expand and fill the spaces, giving that soft and airy effect typical of premium yarns. Working with smaller needles (n°4) compresses the fibers and makes the fabric stiff, losing the product's characteristic lightness. Conversely, larger needles (n°6) create a knit that is too loose and does not support the garment. The key is to work with a soft hand: mohair should not be pulled or stressed during working, otherwise it loses volume and luminosity.

The n°5 crochet hook also works perfectly with ELDORADO, especially for openwork stitches, fans, and net working that enhance the yarn's transparency. Simple stitches like stockinette or garter stitch highlight the color nuances and natural luminosity, while complex textured stitches risk hiding the beauty of the mohair. If you are new to working with mohair yarns, start with simple projects like scarves or neck warmers: the fiber forgives small tension errors and the final result is always elegant.

✨ Why choose ELDORADO Wool

Compared to standard 50-gram mohair yarns, ELDORADO offers a lighter and more manageable format that allows you to precisely measure the quantity needed for each project without waste. The super kid mohair used is of superior quality compared to generic mohair: finer, softer, less prone to pilling. The presence of extrafine merino makes it suitable even for those who find pure mohairs too "hairy" or irritating: here the softness is balanced and the contact with the skin is pleasant even for those with sensitivity.

In everyday life, a garment made with ELDORADO stands out for its ability to be elegant without being formal: a scarf to wear to the office, a stole for the evening, a neck warmer that warms without weighing down the coat. The yarn's subtle luminosity catches natural and artificial light, making the garment visible and appreciated without the need for additional decorations. It is the right yarn for those who want to create something special that lasts over time, not a passing fashion.

🎨 What you can make

ELDORADO is perfect for luminous scarves and soft stoles to wear in the shoulder seasons or as an elegant accessory in winter. The yarn's lightness also makes it ideal for evening summer sweaters, open cardigans that do not weigh you down, neck warmers and cowl scarves that warm without suffocating. Many customers use it to embellish basic garments with luminous borders or to create refined gift accessories like thin scarves or soft hats.

👩‍🎨 Who it is suitable for

ELDORADO is suitable for both beginners who want to experiment with premium yarns without investing in heavy skeins, and experts who are looking for a higher quality mohair for refined projects. Working with n°5 needles is fast and the yarn forgives small tension errors thanks to the mohair fuzz that masks irregularities. If you have never worked with mohair, this is an excellent starting point: more manageable than pure mohairs, less delicate than silk yarns.

Those who buy ELDORADO typically look for a yarn for special projects: hobbyists who want to create unique garments for themselves or as gifts, artisans who sell handmade accessories and are looking for distinctive materials, scarf and stole enthusiasts who collect premium yarns. It is also chosen by those who work on commission for elegant ceremony garments or evening accessories, where luminosity and softness make the difference between a standard product and a memorable one.
