DROPS AIR

DROPS Air – Light as Air, Soft as a Cloud

Experience true softness with DROPS Air, an innovative yarn that combines baby alpaca and merino wool using a special “blown” construction technique. Instead of being traditionally spun, the fibers are air-blown into a delicate tube, creating a beautifully airy structure with exceptional volume and warmth — but almost no weight.

Garments made from DROPS Air are 30–35% lighter than those made from conventional spun yarns of similar thickness, offering incredible comfort and freedom of movement. The result is a breathable, durable, and wonderfully soft yarn that’s completely itch-free, even for sensitive skin.

With its natural fibers and gentle feel, DROPS Air is perfect for creating cozy sweaters, jackets, scarves, hats, and textured pieces that look luxurious and feel effortless to wear.
