Morning is as fresh as a new day, with a satisfying weight, a very soft feel, and an incredibly lovely hand.

About This Yarn

• A special blend of 75% organically grown cotton and 25% yak, the cotton lends strength and a cool touch to this yarn, while the yak, which comes from a super soft undercoat that the animal sheds for the summer, is cozy and breathable and adds a bit of elasticity.
• Morning is spun from eight fine plies, making for a strong and durable yarn, as well as one with a smooth, soft surface and excellent stitch definition... What an absolute pleasure to knit!
• Morning comes in 14 up-with-the-sun colors, from piquant Pink Radish to comfy Dungarees Blue.
• This light worsted/DK-weight yarn is perfect for hats and scarves, sweaters and blankets. Oh, and it’s machine washable, too! Explore all our inspiring knitting patterns in Morning... Rise and shine!
