Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk is one of the softest and highest-quality yarns available. Made from superfine alpaca sourced in Peru and delicate silk from China, its feather-light weight non itchy, fluffy finish and beautiful colour range make it perfect for garments both big and small. It is especially appreciated by professional makers for baby garments and photoshoot props.
Despite its softness, this yarn is surprisingly warm – ideal to use multiple strands together for autumn and winter pieces, on its own for sheer springgarments, or as a yarncombination for year-round projects.
Whether used on its own or held together with other fibres, Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk pairs beautifully with all kinds of yarns and adds interest to your project. If you love creating elegant, long-lasting knits, this luxurious yarn is a dream to work with – and thanks to its compatibility with larger needles, it knits quickly too.
Made in: Peru Raw material origin: Alpaca from Peru, silk from China

I’ve bought from knitted home several times, always a pleasure and great communication if you’re not sure in a colour!
I’ve just started my new WIP and it’s looking fluffy!
Thank you for the fast delivery and instant response to our requests! We know the yarn we bought very well. It is of very good quality.
We wish you every success in your business.
Warm Regards

I use this to double up on DK wool to add a different dimension and love the fluffy feel and look of the finished article. It's a beautiful wool and very toasty for my jumpers.

New favourite yarn! Very easy to work with, I used a smaller hook (3mm) to crochet a beanie and it is the softest, warmest hat I’ve made so far. Beautiful colours.
I’ve knitted with this yarn before and couldn’t resist this beautiful new color. My project is a jumper with the brushed alpaca and drops daisy knitted together to make a jumper I know will be very warm but soft and not too bulky. It’s not complete yet but looking good.
i have used this yarn a lot in the last few years it is lovely to knit with there are so many colours and i have quite a few really nice jumpers i have made, the yarn is so nice and warm to wear it is also very light i think it is excellent all round. this was the first time i purchased from knitted home and i will cetainly use this site again
