If you are breeding correctly silk to silk the % is small that a cotton will be produced. However, because the yorkie is a difficult breed to breed, occassionally a cotton coat will be produced.

If you look at pictures 30 - 40 years ago, cotton coated dogs were being Championed and those that began way back when we need to pay homage too, as they are the ones that took breeding earnestly, developing the breed to the silk coats of today.
