DROPS Lima is the kind of yarn you reach for again and again. It blends 65% wool with 35% alpaca for warmth, structure, and a soft halo without feeling fuzzy or fragile.
The wool adds resilience and stitch definition. The alpaca brings warmth and a smooth hand. Together, they create a yarn that works well for garments, accessories, and textured stitches.
This is a DK weight, knitting up at 21 stitches per 4 inches on a US 6 (4 mm) needle. It’s ideal for:
- Everyday sweaters
- Mittens and hats
- Baby garments
- Simple scarves with clean stitch patterns
- Colorwork with gentle contrast
Lima is not superwash, so it will bloom slightly after washing. It is also feltable, which opens up options for structured projects.
