Spun from two strands in a traditional combination of 65% wool and 35% alpaca, Drops Andes' mixture brings out the alpaca's silky surface, while the wool helps your garments keep better shape stability. The fibres used are untreated, which means they are not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to being dyed which highlights the fibres' natural properties, while also providing better shape and texture quality. Drops Andes is very easy to work with using thick needles and hooks, and is ideal for felting. Available in an excellent selection of strong shades, Andes is perfect for some cheery winter warmers.
