Kagomé magnets are expected to host exotic magnetic and electronic properties due to possible interplay of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and specific topology of the energy band structures [1,2,3]. Here, we present the field-dependent and angular-dependent magnetization studies of the kagomé -lattice easy-plane ferromagnet Fe₃Sn. The SOC is probed by the measurements of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy in high-quality bulk single crystals. Measurements in high fields reveal the difference in the saturation magnetization along the a and the c axes, which does not vanish up to the highest applied field of 14 T. The anisotropy evidenced in the saturation moment indicates a possible contribution of the orbital moment. The temperature dependence of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants K₁ and K₂ was determined. [1] L. Ye et al., Nature 555, 638 (2018), M. Altthaler et al., Phys. Rev.
