How the yarn behaves

DROPS Melody is a soft, luxurious brushed bulky yarn blending superfine alpaca with merino wool for a mohair-like, lightly haloed surface, available in a sophisticated palette of neutrals, reds and purples. The brushed construction makes it loftier and warmer than its weight suggests, while also shedding more than non-brushed yarns. It works up fast without becoming heavy, making it ideal for oversized sweaters, cardigans, cocoon-style jackets, scarves, snoods and cosy accessories; it can also be crocheted, though the halo softens stitch definition. Care: hand wash cool in mild wool detergent, do not wring, and dry flat. A gentle brush on the finished piece can restore the halo over time.
