DROPS Nord is a soft and lightweight fingering-weight yarn made from a blend of alpaca, polyamide and wool. Its combination of natural fibres and polyamide provides softness, strength and elasticity, making it especially well suited to garments and accessories that need to be comfortable yet durable. Made in Peru using South American alpaca and wool with polyamide from Germany, this yarn has a fine texture and provides excellent stitch definition. Its light weight makes it particularly suitable for projects where you want warmth without a bulky fabric. Ideal for knitting and crochet projects such as socks, baby garments, shawls and lightweight sweaters, DROPS Nord is a versatile choice for everyday handmade garments and accessories.
