DROPS Alpaca is an all-time favorite among knitters and crocheters — a beautifully soft and lightweight sport-weight yarn spun from 100% pure alpaca. Made in Peru using premium alpaca fibers sourced directly from the Peruvian highlands, this natural fiber yarn offers exceptional softness, warmth, and durability. Its smooth texture and gentle halo give projects a luxurious drape and a subtle sheen, making it ideal for light sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, and baby garments. Whether knitted or crocheted, DROPS Alpaca delivers excellent stitch definition and a cozy, breathable finish, perfect for delicate handmade creations that feel as beautiful as they look.
