DROPS - Superwash

Surely, we can quickly agree that knitted and crocheted garments are beautiful, personal, fun to make, and even more fun to use. The one thing that sometimes means that you either don't get the sweater you've dreamed of, or you don't get used the ragged, knitted socks you've got is that they can't be machine washed and that they have spent so much time at the bottom of the laundry basket that you forgot all about them. That is the case for many, and that is a pity. Therefore, it is important for us to have different types of yarn with the special superwash treatment in our range.

Very practical

The Superwash yarn is durable and can even be machine washed at up to 40 degrees C. However, we always discourage any use of fabric softener, as it may damage the clothes. The fact that the superwash yarn is machine washable means you can get started with a whole range of projects you may not have had up to now: children's clothing, blouses, socks and more. The thing they have in common is that the item lasts very well and for a long time, despite much use, wear, and wash. If you plan on making a gift yourself, you can buy one of our convenient labels with washing instructions. This way, the recipient would never be in doubt on how they should take care of their new product in the best way. 

We sell many different types of durable and superwash-treated yarn, including pure wool, pure merino wool, and various wool and cotton blends. The possibilities of how to use the yarn are endless.

One of our kinds of superwash yarn is Fabel, which, for example, is incredibly suitable for beautiful and colourful socks as the yarn comes in many different colour combinations and especially the different multi-colour models are very popular in our range. The Merino Extra Fine model, based on the softness of the yarn, is also perfectly suitable for children's and baby clothes, as it is also completely itch-free.
