An exciting "blown yarn" made from soft baby alpaca and cozy merino wool - this quality has a unique construction, where instead of being spun, the baby alpaca and merino wool fibers are "blown" with air until they form a tube. This makes garments made with this yarn about 30-35% lighter than conventionally spun yarns of the same weight.
DROPS Air is a light and airy yarn with a wonderful hand feel against the skin, making it perfect for accessories, textured stitches, and cables. Garments made with DROPS Air are completely hypoallergenic, meaning anyone can wear them!
This yarn is Oeko-Tex® certified (certificate number 22.HPE.07484), Standard 100, Class II by the Hohenstein Institute. This means it has been tested and is completely free of hazardous substances and is considered safe for both humans and the environment. Class II means the yarn is suitable for direct contact with the skin in large fabrics, such as blouses, shirts, mattresses, etc.
