David Bowie - Yakrino Assigned Pooling

This hand-dyed assigned pooling yarn pairs a soft lavender background with contrast sections in turquoise, purple, white and green.

This is an assigned pooling yarn: the contrast sections are dyed to trigger a specific stitch and form a motif as you knit, without any colourwork or stranding. The stitch pairing for this colourway is still being test knitted, so hold off on swatching for a motif until it's confirmed. This listing will be updated with the stitch and a tutorial link once that's locked in.

Fiber content

51% Tibetan yak, 49% extrafine merino (non-superwash)

This yarn is woolen-spun, giving it a fluffy, airy halo and warmth, along with a rustic, textured hand rather than a sleek or smooth one. Being non-superwash, it has some natural tooth straight off the skein, and blooms and softens further with washing, blocking, and wear.
