DROPS Melody – Luxurious Alpaca & Merino Chunky DROPS Melody blends superfine alpaca with merino wool for a chunky yarn with a soft, mohair-like halo. It knits up fast on big needles, making it a favourite for cosy chunky sweaters, wraps and blankets that still feel light against the skin. Why choose DROPS Melody? Fast, Cosy Knits: A chunky gauge on 8 mm needles means garments and blankets grow quickly. Soft Halo, Real Warmth: Alpaca and merino combine for warmth without the weight or itch of pure wool. Skin-Safe Comfort: Certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class II, tested for direct skin contact.
