When novice knitters and crocheters began asking us to provide patterns that had been tried and tested with yarn that would meet pattern specifications exactly, we looked to DROPS, a Norwegian brand. Their website DROPS Design provides a wide variety of patterns designed especially for their yarns. At a lower price point than our homegrown yarns, DROPS provides a great opportunity to produce beautiful alpaca creations even if you're a brand-new maker.
A luxurious DK/sport-weight yarn in an exclusive mix of brushed, superfine alpaca, and subtle, shiny silk.Being feather-light and surprisingly warm, DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk is suitable for both small and large garments, and it can be knitted relatively fast on larger needles. This yarn is also great as an effect yarn, so try working it together with other qualities for extra soft and lovely results.

Do not put alpaca in hot water, agitate it, or dry in a dryer or on a heat source.
Soak in room temperature water with gentle detergent or shampoo for 30 minutes, rinse, gently squeeze away excess water, and lay flat to dry.
Wipe soiled area with a damp cloth free from soap, and allow it to air dry. Gently brush fur when dry and shake to fluff.
