Mitto's notes
Brushed alpaca with silk: a featherlight yarn with a fluffy halo that is very warm for its weight. Each ball is 25 g and 140 metres.
What it's for
Light, airy jumpers on 5 mm needles, shawls and cowls. The halo hides the stitches and makes it hard to unpick, so if you are a beginner, knit calmly and count carefully.
How many balls
Adult jumper, size M, with the yarn on its own: 7 to 8 balls. Cowl: 2 to 3. These are rough figures: always check the pattern.
Pairs with
It belongs to group C, like Nepal and Alaska. Held together with another yarn, such as Alpaca or Merino Extra Fine, it adds a fluffy halo and extra warmth.
Care
Hand wash at 30 °C maximum and dry flat. To lift the halo again, give the garment a shake once it is dry.
About this yarn
A luxurious yarn in an exclusive mix of brushed, superfine alpaca and subtle, shiny silk - DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk is super soft and has a sophisticated shade card ranging from soft beige and gray hues, to gorgeous reds and purples.
Being feather light and surprisingly warm, DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk is suitable for both small and large garments, and it can be knitted relatively fast on larger needles. This yarn is also great as an effect yarn, so try working it together with other qualities for extra soft and lovely results.
