How the yarn behaves

DK version of Summerlite — multi-plied long-staple cotton with a matt finish. The extra plies give round, well-defined stitches that show cables, lace and texture cleanly. Sits between lighter cotton DKs and aran cottons in body: stable enough for structured tops, drapey enough to layer. Softens with each wash. Heavier than wool DKs on the needles — long pieces can grow with wear, so swatch and block to expected dimensions before measuring for size. Machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat.
