DROPS Alpaca Bouclé is a lovely soft effect yarn spun in alpaca. The yarn fibers are untreated, which means that they are 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.“Bouclé” is the French word for a loop and it refers to the number of small loops of pure alpaca that give the ball its characteristic look. Spun from 2 strands, the core is a blend of wool and nylon, which helps give the yarn strength, and the combination of alpaca and bouclé provides a super soft yarn with excellent performance and a fantastic effect. Garments made in DROPS Alpaca Bouclé are light and fluffy.DROPS Alpaca Bouclé contains some mixed colours, this means the wool is manufactured by carding the colours together before spinning, which gives it a mix effect.
Made in Peru.
LITTLE NOTE FROM ME ABOUT THIS YARN:

WHY DROPS?
As an architect, crafting was just a hobby, I make toys and nursery essentials for friends' babies, home decor and cosy blankets for family (mum is my biggest fan and never too shy to ask for more), and of course lots of unique little things for myself!
I'm in love with quality natural fibres, especially when you put a lot of time and effort making something, naturally you want the best material. Like many people I start with Rowan and Debbie Bliss, which is very well known and great quality, but after spend hundreds and hundreds I get to the stage to start searching around for alternatives.
I found out about DROPS from professional makers produce quality items. I made my first order for their baby alpaca silk yarn, and fell in love ever since.
I tried every line of their product over the months and they never fail to surprise me with joy, the price is a lot lower and the quality is simply the best!! And there are thousands of free patterns on their website to inspire your next project! http://www.garnstudio.com
It was my grandma used to knit me sweaters, I never forget that warm feeling of love in every stitch, it's so precious and delicate, I hope it will not end here because of machine and technology take over in this century.
Sept 2014, I decided to become a DROPS retailer and share my finding with all of you with same passion like me.
