DROPS Andes is spun with two strands, combining 65% yarn and 35% alpaca. This blend enhances the silky surface of the alpaca, while the yarn helps provide better shape stability.
The yarn fibers are untreated, only washed, and without any chemical treatment before dyeing. This enhances the fiber's natural qualities and, at the same time, gives it a better shape and texture.
DROPS Andes is easily knitted with chunky knitting needles and crochet hooks, and is ideal for felting projects.
