DROPS Andes is spun with 2 strands in the traditional combination of 65% wool from the Peruvian Highlands and 35% superfine alpaca, which gives it a silky feel (thanks to the alpaca fibers) and a stable shape to the garments. Its fibers are untreated, meaning the wool has only been washed and has not undergone any chemical processes before dyeing. This enhances the natural properties of the fibers and, at the same time, gives better shape and quality to its texture.

Very easy to knit with thick knitting and crochet needles and ideal for felting, DROPS Andes is perfect for winter garments, accessories and home decor designs.
