DROPS Alpaca + DROPS Kid-Silk

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 has a knitting tension of about 16 stitches = 10 cm = 4" using 5.5 mm = US9 needles, which is a perfect fit for patterns in knitting tension group 17 - 16 stitches.

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!
