What is Softyak DK?
Rowan Softyak DK is a light from Rowan. Composition: 76% baby suri alpaca / 15% yak / 9% nylon. One skein holds 120 m of yarn and weighs 50 g.
How the yarn behaves
Chainette-construction cotton with a touch of yak down and a little nylon. The yak adds softness and faint warmth without the weight of pure cotton; the chainette gives extra spring and a lighter feel on the needles. Less drape and more body than smooth-plied cotton, with cleaner stitch definition. Static-resistant and gentle against the skin, so a good pick for sensitive wearers and children's garments. Machine wash gentle. The chainette can split if pulled hard with a sharp hook tip — favour rounded hooks.
