Very warm

I made this into a poncho using a 5mm crochet hook. I found the colour a little lighter than is represented on the photos given, but I still loved the way it looked with the dark rust colour. Very soft and unexpectedly warm for something so delicate.

Not so recent purchase ????

It was a while ago i bought this yarn, and I mixed it with some sport weight plan colour yarn. It knitted up beautifully. I was very pleased.

Lovely

I crocheted this up on a 5mm hook and it has a lovely loose effect. Could be used alongside another wool for a stiffer effect.

Description

WHAT’S HER STORY?

A luxurious yarn in an exclusive mix of brushed, superfine alpaca and subtle shiny silk!

Besides being super soft, DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk has a sophisticated shade card ranging from soft beige and gray hues, to gorgeous reds and purples.

 

Made in Peru

FAMOUS FOR…

The most popular yarn for baby photo props.

Feather light and surprisingly warm features make it suitable for both small and large garments, and it can be knitted relatively fast on larger needles.

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk can be used as an effect yarn when worked together with other yarns for lovely soft results!
