Kid Classic is one of Rowan's oldest and most popular yarns, with more than 10,000 projects on Ravelry. It's a lovely and light blend of kid mohair, wool, and a little polyamide for strength. I like that it makes a wonderfully light and soft fabric, so it's perfect for larger garments or heavily cabled fabric that would feel quite heavy in a different yarn. Kid Classic is listed as an Aran weight, and the ball band says 18 stitches per 4 inches, I think this is closer to a worsted weight yarn. It does bloom into a lovely fabric after a little warm water bath, but not enough to be used in a design calling for an Aran weight yarn. Check out my favorite design for this yarn - the Cowl Cardigan
