DROPS Saga: The Warmth and Purity of 100% Natural Wool in Your Hands
Welcome DROPS Saga, the latest addition from the prestigious DROPS brand for lovers of authentic fibres and traditional finishes. This yarn is crafted from 100% pure wool with no chemical treatment prior to dyeing. By preserving all the properties of the virgin fibre, it offers superior thermal insulation, excellent breathability, and a cosy texture with a beautiful rustic character.
Full-Bodied Aran Structure and Rustic Texture
DROPS Saga stands out for its consistency and traditional spinning, classified in the medium-heavy weight group of 4-ply (8-ply / Aran / Worsted weight), designed to be knitted with 4 mm needles. Your projects will progress quickly, revealing clean, plump stitches with excellent stability. It is the perfect choice for those seeking the authenticity and charm of classic, timeless wool.
- 100% pure virgin wool: By dispensing with harsh chemical treatments, the fibre keeps its shape, elasticity, and natural temperature-regulating properties completely intact.
- Aran weight (8-ply): The perfect "all-rounder" weight for winter. It allows you to create full-bodied, fluffy, and very warm garments without them feeling excessively heavy.
- Textured stitch definition: Its strand is fantastic for highlighting textures, cables, braids, lace stitches, and all kinds of traditional patterns.
Ideal Projects for DROPS Saga
Thanks to its thickness and high heat-retention capacity, this yarn is optimal for knitting or crocheting:
- Structured winter garments: Alpine-style jumpers, buttoned jackets, chunky cardigans, and waistcoats that will protect you from the coldest weather.
- Winter accessories: Cosy hats, infinity scarves, snug cowls, and warm gloves with a unique handcrafted finish.
- Home decor: Rustic cushions, mug cosies, and textured sofa blankets that will bring warmth to any corner of your home.
Technical Specifications and Care Recommendations
As an unprocessed virgin wool, it requires careful maintenance to keep your garments looking perfect year after year:
- Composition: 100% natural wool (free from chemical treatments).
- Recommended size: 4 mm knitting needles or crochet hook (8-ply / Aran / Worsted weight).
- Garment care: Hand wash only in cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C). Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool. Always dry flat in the shade. Do not tumble dry, and do not hang the wet garment to avoid stretching or losing its shape.
