Description
This yarn solves the most common problem for many stitchers: finding the one material that transitions effortlessly between seasons. Softyak DK achieves this with a thoughtful blend of 76% cotton and 15% yak, all held together in a light, chainette construction that gives it a stunningly soft handle and makes it surprisingly light for a cotton-based blend.
The 15% yak is the unsung hero, proven to outperform sheep wool in softness, breathability, and odor-resistance, meaning you need less of it to keep you comfortable. The fabric stays fresher longer, a small luxury for any project that sees regular wear. Furthermore, the inherent difference in how the cotton and yak fibers absorb the dye creates a beautiful, complex “earthy undertone” that adds depth to every stitch.
This is the yarn of quiet confidence—a piece you’ll reach for on a cool summer evening or layer under a coat in the winter. And because all Perfectly Knotty yarns SHIP FOR FREE, the feeling of opening this soft package is just around the corner.
