Mitto's notes
Wool with 35% alpaca, thick and quick to knit: a warm jumper takes only a few days, and the wool helps it keep its shape.
What it's for
Winter jumpers and cardigans, cables, hats, cowls and blankets. As it has no superwash treatment, it is also great for felting: slippers, baskets and bags.
How many balls
Adult jumper, size M: 13 to 15 balls. Hat: 2. These are rough figures: always check the pattern.
Pairs with
It belongs to group C, like Alaska and Brushed Alpaca Silk. You can also reach the same thickness with two strands of group A held together, for example two of Alpaca.
Care
Hand wash at 30 °C maximum, without rubbing, and dry flat. Hot water and friction will felt it. Every 3 washes, Sfeltro helps keep the wool soft.
About this yarn
DROPS Nepal is a chunky and luxurious yarn, spun in 35% superfine alpaca and 65% 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.
