Andes Mix / Drops / 3410 Amethyst

Product description

DROPS Andes is a traditional combination of 65% Peruvian Highland wool and 35% superfine alpaca.

The mixture brings out the alpaca silky surface, while the wool gives the yarn better shape stability. The yarn fibers are untreated, which means that it is only washed (without any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing). This highlights the fiber’s natural properties, while it also provides a better shape and texture quality.

Very easy to work with thick needles and hooks and ideal for felting, DROPS Andes is perfect for winter garments, accessories and interior patterns.

Choose it if you want to crochet or knit accessories, shawls, scarves, sweaters or cardigans with both embossed and braid cable stitches.

Made in Peru.
