An all time favorite made purely from soft alpaca! 

Knitting yarn DROPS Alpaca is a lovely yarn spun from 3 strands of 100% superfine alpaca, with an extra twist to provide a durable surface. The alpaca fiber is 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 Alpaca wool yarn has a large and varied range of patterns available in the DROPS collection. Garments made in this yarn are lightweight and comfortable, super soft directly on the skin, and have a nice, characteristic sheen. Alpaca wool is warm, so it is perfect for winter. It can be knitted together with mohair and silk yarn, for example, DROPS Kid Silk, to add some extra halo and to make it more airy.
