An exciting "blown yarn " composed of soft baby alpaca, polyamide and warm, cozy merino yarn .
Its construction is unique, similar to DROPS Cloud, based on the latest technologies for yarn . Instead of spinning the baby alpaca and merino yarn fibers, they are blown with air into a tube. This makes garments made with this yarn about 30-35% lighter than those made with conventionally spun yarn of the same thickness. Furthermore, a 50g ovillo of DROPS Air contains a much longer yarn length than traditional ovillo of yarn of similar thickness.
DROPS Air is - as its name suggests - a very "airy" yarn that feels wonderfully good against the skin and, this quality, makes it perfect for accessories, shawls, sweaters and jackets in both plain and textured patterns.
Garments made with DROPS Air are completely hypoallergenic and can be worn by anyone.
