DROPS BRUSHED ALPACA SILK

Why You’ll Love DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk

Elegant and soft, DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk combines superfine alpaca with shimmering mulberry silk to create a yarn that is both luxurious and versatile. The brushed alpaca gives garments a warm, cloud-like softness, while the silk adds strength and a subtle sheen.

Despite being feather-light, this yarn is surprisingly warm, making it ideal for both lightweight accessories and larger garments. Worked on bigger needles, it knits or crochets quickly, creating cozy yet refined fabrics. It can also be held together with other yarns for added softness, texture, or color depth.

The carefully curated shade range includes timeless neutrals and sophisticated jewel tones, ensuring there’s a color to match every style and season.
