Made from soft baby alpaca and cosy merino wool sourced from South Africa and crafted in Peru, Drops Air lives up to its name. The fibres are blown into a tube rather than traditionally spun – a method known as blow yarn – making it around 35% lighter than standard spun yarns.
This unique structure gives Drops Air its signature lightness and softness, making it ideal for knitting or crocheting everything from shawls and mittens to jackets and sweaters. Its standout feature? It’s completely itch-free, making it a perfect choice for those with sensitive skin.
Available in a wide range of colours, Drops Air stands out from other Drops yarns thanks to its innovative construction and gentle texture – one of the many reasons it remains a firm favourite among knitting enthusiasts.
