DROPS Alpaca is a lovely yarn spun from 3 strands of 100% superfine alpaca, with an extra twist to provide a durable surface. The alpaca fibre is untreated, which means that it is only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fibre's natural properties, while it also provides a better shape and texture quality.

Customer reviews
Spins a good yarn!
Good quality yarn, I used it to knit some square patches to repair a couple of elderly cashmere jumpers. I may yet order more and knit a whole new jumper. Easy to use, doesn't split, would recommend.
Mail order was very efficient too.

A Lovely Alpaca yarn

Superb quality wool
Have bought Drops alpaca many times before and found it to be excellent. Knits well, has slight stretch which gives garments a better finish. Colours are excellent, still hae two sweaters knitted years ago in this yarn and they are still as good as new without pilling, and the yarn does not irritate the skin. Can't find any negatives with this product.
