DROPS - Wool & Alpaca

On this page, you can find our different kinds of yarn which contain both wool and alpaca. Wool is a really practical way to stay warm, while Alpaca gives knitted and crocheted projects a nice shine and making it feel soft to the skin. The blend of wool and alpaca gives a durable and strong yarn with comfortable properties that alpaca is so well-known for. The mixture enhances the silky surface of the alpaca fibres while the wool contributes to better shape stability. The yarn fibres are untreated, which means they are only washed and not subjected to any chemical treatment prior to dyeing. That best highlights the natural properties of the yarn and gives better shape and texture.

We stock several different kinds of yarn made of wool and alpaca. Among these, you'll find many different pretty colours. All of our qualities are from DROPS, and on this page, you can find the following types of quality yarn that contains both wool and alpaca: DROPS Nepal, DROPS Air, DROPS Lima, DROPS Flora, DROPS Nord, DROPS Melody, DROPS Alpaca Bouclé and DROPS Andes.
