DROPS Andes - Soft & Chunky Alpaca & Wool Yarn

DROPS Andes is a soft and chunky yarn made from a warm blend of wool and alpaca. Its thick, plush structure creates wonderfully cosy fabrics with a substantial feel, making it ideal for projects where warmth and volume are the priority.

Made in Peru from South American wool and alpaca, this yarn is also feltable, giving you the option to create felted projects as well as chunky knitted and crocheted garments. Its super bulky weight makes it particularly suitable for quick-to-knit winter accessories and cosy home projects.

Ideal for knitting and crochet projects such as thick sweaters, jackets, hats, scarves, mittens, slippers and felted accessories, DROPS Andes is a great choice for soft, warm and substantial handmade creations.
