Everybody loves combining DROPS Alpaca with DROPS Kid-Silk - but have you ever tried this deep purple combination? You get it by working together DROPS Alpaca 4400, dark purple with DROPS Kid-Silk 16, dark purple.
The result is soft and elegant, with a knitting gauge of about 16 stitches = 10 cm = 4" using 5,5 mm = US 9 needles, which is a perfect fit for our Yarn Group C patterns.
Remember however that knitting tension varies from person to person and that the suggested needle size is only a guide. You can adjust the needle size to get a different tension - or match the tension recommended in the pattern you are working with. Just make a swatch!
