Rowan Softyak DK
Rowan Softyak DK is a beautifully soft, all‑season yarn crafted from a luxurious blend of cotton, yak, and nylon. Its chainette construction gives the yarn an airy, lightweight feel, making it surprisingly lofty for a cotton‑rich DK. The addition of yak fibres lends exceptional softness and gentle warmth, while the nylon adds strength and durability — perfect for garments with lasting wear.
Naturally anti‑static and anti‑microbial, Softyak DK creates fabrics that stay fresher for longer and feel comfortable against the skin. Available in a stunning palette ranging from subtle, muted tones to rich jewel shades, this versatile yarn works wonderfully for both simple stitches and textured designs.
