DROPS ALPACA MIX

€3.85 inc. VAT

DROPS Alpaca is a lovely yarn spun from 3 strands of 100% superfine alpaca, with an extra twist to provide a durable surface. The alpaca fiber is untreated, which means that it is only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fiber’s natural properties, while it also provides a better shape and texture quality.

DROPS Alpaca has a large and varied range of patterns available in the DROPS collection. Garments made in this yarn are lightweight and comfortable, super soft directly on the skin, and have a nice, characteristic sheen.

Description

DROPS Alpaca – Pure, Soft, and Naturally Elegant

Wrap yourself in the luxury of DROPS Alpaca, a beautifully soft yarn spun from 100% superfine alpaca. Made from three strands with a gentle twist, this yarn has a smooth, durable surface that gives your finished garments both strength and softness.

The fibers are untreated, meaning they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical processing before dyeing. This preserves the natural qualities of the alpaca — warmth, breathability, and that signature silky feel — resulting in projects that are lightweight, comfortable, and long-lasting.

With its delicate sheen and impressive stitch definition, DROPS Alpaca is ideal for textured and lace patterns alike. It’s available in a rich palette of colors and supported by a large collection of free DROPS patterns, making it a timeless favorite among knitters and crocheters around the world.
