DROPS Lima is a 4-ply sport yarn , similar to DROPS Nepal, although finer. The fibers are untreated, meaning they are only washed and have not been exposed to any chemical treatment before dyeing. This enhances the fibers' natural properties while giving them a better shape and texture.
Lima can be conveniently used in outerwear, such as classic Norwegian sweaters and sportswear, which are usually tightly woven for good shape retention. This strong and durable yarn quality is combined with the lovely, comfortable properties characteristic of alpaca. It's a sporty yarn with a little extra luxury.
Made in Peru.
