DROPS Alaska is a classic, durable yarn made from 100% untreated new wool. The wool is only washed before dyeing and is not exposed to chemical treatment, helping to preserve its natural warmth, structure and beautiful texture.

This triple-stranded yarn has been a proven favourite in the DROPS collection since the mid-1980s. Its firm, classic character gives excellent stitch definition, while the wide range of colours and extensive selection of patterns make it a versatile choice for knitters of all experience levels.

Ideal for knitting and crochet projects such as sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves, accessories and garments for the whole family, DROPS Alaska is also feltable, making it suitable for a variety of traditional wool projects.
