Drops Lima

DROPS Lima is a 4-ply sport yarn and is made of 65% Peruvian Highland wool and 35% superfine alpaca, and the yarn fibers are untreated, which means that the wool has only been washed and has not been subjected to any chemical treatments before dyeing. This way the natural properties of the yarn remain visible and the yarn has a beautiful shape and structure.

Lima is ideal for outerwear such as classic Norwegian sweaters and sporty cardigans that are usually knitted a bit tighter for a durable result that keeps its shape. This durable and sturdy yarn as every wool yarn should be. It also has the wonderful properties of alpaca, making it soft and comfortable. A sport yarn with a touch of luxury!
