Rowan Softyak DK is a blend of yak, cotton, and nylon in DK weight to give knitters and crocheters the best of all possible worlds: The softness of cashmere at a better price plus added durability and washability. And thanks to its fiber blend, it transcends the seasons. It has a stunningly soft handle and is static resistant and anti-microbial, which means the fabric stays fresher for longer.
The blend of cotton and yak gives a pretty melange effect as the yak is a darker fibre and thus absorbs the colour differently to the cotton.
