DROPS KARISMA

DROPS Karisma – Classic Superwash Wool for Everyday Comfort

DROPS Karisma is one of the most beloved yarns in the DROPS collection — a 4-strand DK/sport-weight wool yarnknown for its softness, resilience, and timeless appeal. Introduced in Scandinavia in the 1980s, Karisma quickly became a favorite among crafters for its durability and versatility.

Made from 100% pure wool, this yarn is superwash treated, making it easy to care for and machine washable — a perfect choice for garments that see daily wear, such as sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, and children’s clothes.

Karisma maintains excellent shape stability and structure, ensuring your finished projects retain their form and beauty over time. It’s soft against the skin, works up smoothly, and is supported by a wide range of free DROPS patterns for all levels of makers.
