How the yarn behaves

DROPS Nord is a blend of superfine alpaca, Peruvian Highland wool and polyamide, designed to combine softness with notable strength and longevity. The alpaca brings warmth and a delicate halo, the wool adds shape stability, and the polyamide reinforces the yarn for everyday wear. It has excellent stitch definition for colourwork, cables and ribbing, and it suits sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, gloves and socks; it also crochets cleanly. The polyamide content makes it well-suited to high-wear items such as socks and gloves. Oeko-Tex certified. Care: hand wash cool with wool detergent and dry flat to preserve softness and shape.
