Drops Nepal 0612 Mix Medium Brown

DROPS Nepal is a lovely and luxurious yarn spun in 35% superfine alpaca and 65% Peruvian Highland wool, a mix that accentuates the softness of alpaca while the wool contributes to the garments' shape stability. Both 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, providing also a better shape and texture qualities.

Spun from 3 strands, which gives an exciting and rustic stitch definition, DROPS Nepal is an easily knitted/crocheted quality which is also ideal for felting, resulting in garments that have an even and soft surface. DROPS Nepal contains mixed colours, this means the wool is manufactured by carding the colours together before spinning, which gives it a mixed effect.

The yarn is classified as a Yarn Group: C (16 - 19 stitches) / 10 ply / aran / worsted, with a recommended needle size of US 8 / 5 mm. The gauge is 4" x 4" / 10 x 10 cm = 17 sts x 22 rows. The weight and yardage per ball is 1.8 oz (50 g) = approx 82 yds (75 m).

It is important to note that the colors shown may vary from screen to screen in the same way that shades may vary slightly from dye lot to dye lot. The yarn should be hand washed, cold max 30°C / 86F, and dried flat / feltable.

In summary, DROPS Nepal is a high-quality, luxurious yarn made from a blend of alpaca and Peruvian Highland wool, with a soft and natural feel, and is suitable for a variety of knitting and crocheting projects. Its unique mixed color effect and felting properties make it a versatile choice for crafters.
