DROPS Lima – Everyday Wool & Alpaca Warmth
DROPS Lima is the dependable everyday yarn for the cold season: sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens and scarves that get worn on repeat. Peruvian highland wool gives structure and excellent stitch definition, while superfine alpaca adds a soft, warm touch. At a classic DK gauge on 4 mm needles, it works with a huge range of garment patterns — including the extensive free DROPS pattern library.
Why choose DROPS Lima?
- Warm Yet Light: The wool–alpaca blend insulates beautifully without bulk — ideal for Baltic winters.
- Crisp Stitch Definition: Cables, ribbing and textured patterns stand out clearly.
- Uni & Mix Shades: Choose clean uni colours or subtly heathered mix shades for a rustic, lively fabric.
