A medium thick blow yarn made of baby alpaca and merino wool
An exciting "blow yarn" made from soft baby alpaca and cozy merino wool - this quality has a unique construction where instead of spinning, the fibers of baby alpaca and merino wool are blown into a tube together. Garments made in this yarn are about 30-35% lighter than those made with conventional spun yarns of the same thickness.
DROPS Air is a light, airy yarn that feels beautiful against the skin, which makes it perfect for sweaters, jackets and accessories, with both texture and cable patterns. Garments made in DROPS Air are totally itch-free, which means everyone can wear them!
Made in Peru/EU
This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 22.HPE.07484), Standard 100, Class I. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0-3).
