Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk is one of the softest and highest-quality yarns available. Made from superfine alpaca sourced in Peru and delicate silk from China, its feather-light weight non itchy, fluffy finish and beautiful colour range make it perfect for garments both big and small. It is especially appreciated by professional makers for baby garments and photoshoot props.
Despite its softness, this yarn is surprisingly warm – ideal to use multiple strands together for autumn and winter pieces, on its own for sheer spring garments, or as a yarn combination for year-round projects.
Whether used on its own or held together with other fibres, Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk pairs beautifully with all kinds of yarns and adds interest to your project. If you love creating elegant, long-lasting knits, this luxurious yarn is a dream to work with – and thanks to its compatibility with larger needles, it knits quickly too.
