An exclusive mixture of 20% silk and 80% babyalpaca, Drops Silka Alpaca is one of our most luxurious qualities. The yarn is very soft and is extremely comfortable to wear directly on your skin; it doesn't itch, even with sensitive skins. Drops Silke Alpaca has a slightly reflective and delicate surface with a rustic look. It is specifically suitable for use with smaller garments, crochet articles and accessories.
It also looks wonderful in larger garments, but here it is very important to keep a constant eye on the knitting tension and to avoid elastic stitch techniques, like rib and English rib.
Silke-Alpaca gives - with its weight - a fantastic soft hang and a beautiful fit.
An exciting use for Silke Alpaca is for felting; the alpaca gives a solid and very pretty result
As Silke-Alpaca has the same knitting tension as Alaska, Paris and Bomull-lin there is an excellent pattern selection available.
