DROPS Lima is a 4 strands sport yarn, made in a combination of 65% wool and 35% superfine alpaca, and its fibers are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fibers’ natural properties, while also providing a better shape and texture quality.
DROPS Lima is perfect for outdoor garments like classic Norwegian sweaters and sportswear, that are usually knitted tight for good shape stability. Hard wearing and durable like any great wool yarn should be, it also has the lovely properties from the alpaca, being soft and comfortable. A sport yarn with a touch of luxury!
