Rowan Combe from Cape Bay is a stunning men’s pullover knit using Softyak DK with an intriguing colorwork pattern that just begs for one more row! This fabulous Fair Isle sweater is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Rowan Softyak DK is a blend of yak, cotton, and nylon that has the best of all worlds: the softness of cashmere combined with durability and washability.
