Dear Britton, they used 3800 of Alpaca and 09 of Flora. But the colors may differ between different lots of the same color.

Hej, jeg overvejer om jeg skal bruge Alapaca eller Flora til en lille strikket vest. Er der forskel på om den ene er mere blød eller kan kradse mere? Tak :)

Hej Sophie, de er dejlig bløde begge to, .... muligvis kan DROPS Alpaca være en anelse blødere.... Du kan også prøve DROPS BabyMerino som er endnu blødere :)

I am purchasing Drops yarn to make a stuffed animal (not a drops official pattern but the author used drops yarn). Theoretically, can you explain how body parts will be affected if I used Drops flora vs. Drops alpaca vs. Drops Nord? It is mostly calling for flora and nord but it is easier for me to get alpaca (but I can get nord if it is important. I am not able to find a website that will ship to the US right now that has flora). I am mainly worried about giving the plush structure + antlers.

Dear Hilary, since yarns have both diffferent compositoin and structures, there might be some difference, but you should get the same tension with both yarns. Do not hesitate to contact your DROPS store, they will have you personnal advices for you. Happy knnitting!

Avez vous un tuto pour utiliser votre convertisseur??? je n'y comprend rien. la notion de poids on la prend sur quelle bobine? merci d'avance
16.02.2019 - 17:59DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Debievre, sélectionnez d'abord le fil indiqué dans le modèle, indiquez le poids total indiqué pour la laine dans votre taille (par couleur si besoin), si le modèle est tricoté avec 1 seul fil, cliquez sur "Trouvez des alternatives", si on le tricote avec le fil en double, sélectionnez 2 fils (et ainsi de suite). Bon tricot!

Dear Janice, in this pattern in the 3rd size, you ave 194 sts = 97 sts for front and back piece. When working the first 97 sts for front piece, increase 15 sts evenly over the middle 92 sts (= no inc over the 2/3 sts on each side), then work the next 97 sts for back piece inc evenly 15 sts over the middle 92 sts on the back. See here how to increase evenly. Happy knitting!

Est ce que la laine flora est assez douce pour tricoter de la layette?
17.07.2017 - 20:41DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Monnier, tout est question de point de vue personnel, certaines l'utiliseront volontiers, d'autres moins facilement, DROPS Baby Merino peut être une excellente alternative. N'hésitez pas à demander conseil auprès de votre magasin DROPS, même par mail ou téléphone. Bon tricot!

How can a yarn in the A group substitute for others when the A group contains 2, 4 and 5 ply? Can get many combinations which wouldn't work, eg 2 strands A = 1 strand C, which is 10 ply, when one yarn in Category A is only 2 ply. Using two strands together would only give 4 ply. Too many categories in Yarn Group A?
03.05.2017 - 03:42DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Fournier, yarn groups are so made that the best knitting tension we means give the best result. Depending on the structure of the yarn, it can be worked looser or tighter. Your DROPS Store will be able to provide you more assistance choosing a yarn. Happy knitting!

Jeg har funnet mitt favorittgatn, Flora er passe tykt, drøyt og rimelig. Alpakka blir ujevnt når jeg strikker. MEN... Jeg skulle ønske et større fargeutvalg av Flora. er det en mulighet for at flere farger kommer?
