DROPS Andes is spun from 2 strands in the traditional combination of 65% wool and 35% alpaca. The mixture brings out the alpaca silky surface, while the wool helps to have a better shape stability. The yarn fibers are untreated, which means that it is 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.

DROPS Andes contains some mixed colours, which means the wool is manufactured by carding the colours together before spinning, which gives it a mixed effect.

DROPS Andes is very easy to work with thick needles and hooks, and it is ideal for felting.

Made in Peru


LITTLE NOTE FROM ME ABOUT THIS YARN: 
This yarn is so smooth and soft, the best selling chunky wool, I use this to knit mainly scarf and hat sets (garter stitch with contrast colour pom pom to finish, so quick to knit up and makes perfect gifts), blankets and cardigans, also crochet baskets to felt, the alpaca in the yarn gives a soft fluffy surface after felting !!

ABOUT US:

It all started with the memory of the sweaters my grandma made for me when I was a child. They are not just sweaters, they are her loving touch in every stitch. 


One day I picked up a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn and everything fell into place. 


Love is an action, love is patience and I’m at my happiest when I have a new project in mind.


When I see the spark in my mother’s eyes when she strokes the blanket I made for her or the excitement on my son's face when he wakes up to a new hat and scarf set and the pride when he shows them off to everyone saying “mummy made them for me!”.. this makes my enjoyment in creating and making even more meaningful. 


My passion for creating led to my passion in yarn, and I want to share that with you. It brings me joy knowing that I have inspired the creations that will be enjoyed by you and your loved ones for a long time.


I brought together a thoughtfully selected collection of natural fibre yarn. Every single one was tested over and over to earn its place in my store. You will only find the best yarn here, that’s a promise.


I’m blessed to be surrounded by this wonderful maker community. I am amazed and awed by your creations and your support has allowed me to be a present mother in my young son's life. For that I am eternally grateful.


Love, 


Dan xx
