Softyak DK by Rowan

Rowan Softyak DK is a soft, lightweight yarn that blends cool cotton with warm yak fiber for a fabric that works beautifully across seasons. Its subtle chainette construction gives the yarn extra loft, making it feel lighter than you might expect from a cotton-rich DK.

The yak adds softness and depth to the finished fabric, while the cotton keeps it breathable and comfortable to wear. Softyak DK is a versatile choice for sweaters, cardigans, tops, scarves, and accessories, especially when you want softness without a fuzzy halo.
