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 spring garments, or as a yarn combination 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

This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 23.HPE.36896), Standard 100, Class II from the Hohenstein Institute. This means that is has been tested for harmful substances and is considered safe in human-ecological terms. Class II means the yarn is suitable to come in direct contact with the skin to a large extent, such as blouses, shirts, mattresses, etc.

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!

Lovely when using two strands for knitting. Also very reasonably priced!

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk

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.

I add this lovely wool to other wools to make my jumpers which makes them fluffy, luxurious and warm.

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.

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk

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 made a hat out of this yarn on my Bond knitting machine. It knits up very easily and the colour is lovely.
