Making progress and living how soft it is. I can't wait to finish it and enjoy wearing it.
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.
Made in: Peru/EU
Raw material origin: Alpaca and wool from South America, polyamide from Germany

This means that is has been tested for harmful substances and is considered safe in human-ecological terms.

I so happy to start my new project!
I have used this yet but so impressed with the quality and softness
Lovely wool to knit with. Easy for beginner as it doesn’t split. The lighter colours you can see the nylon core up close. Would buy again though and have plans for future projects.
I haven’t used Drops Air before but I’m impressed with how it’s knitting up.
So helpful, thank you so much! Will certainly buy from you again.
Great service, thanks so much!
This being my first order from Knitted Home I was very impressed with the product, delivery and excellent customer service. I couldn’t get the 10% sign up/ introductory offer to work and was pleasantly surprised and pleased when my email enquiry was answered swiftly meaning I could order without delay and at discount. Thank you. I ordered Drops Air and it's a beautiful yarn, delivered quickly and project now under way!
Lovely yarn . Quick delivery

I love the yarns at Knitted Home- Their Baby Alpaca is a wonderful yarn .. for scarves, hats + sweaters. Their delivery is excellent!! I do not buy yarn from any other source!! Hooray for Knitted Home!!!
No complaints about this yarn. It does as it says - light as air. Knits up well. I have used it instead of Rowan Classic. Not quite finished my garment, but looks good.
I haven't used it yet as the delivery was sooo quick! I can't wait to use it though.
First time using this yarn, and so far only knitted a swatch for a project. It’s knitted up beautifully, gauge is perfect and I love the colour, and the softness. Will definitely be using this yarn again.
So far only used to swatch for item, but love the feel; so soft and the colour is true to advertised. Good price too!
I am knitting a top down jumper with colourwork in Drops Air and just loving it. The yarn is light, fluffy and warm, just what is needed.
I ordered the "Wheat" colour as it was advertised on the website as available. However I received a call to advise that it was now out of stock, but the consultant was extremely helpful and offered an alternative, slightly darker, shade which has worked well. I would use this company again because of this example of good customer service.
Good communication
