Wool

We have a selection of Drops Design wool, wool/alpaca mixtures and merino yarn. Our yarn is all natural fibres, breathable, warm and comfortable to wear. There is a great selection of shades, from earthy to vibrant.

There are patterns on the Drops Design website which are especially designed for each of the yarns we sell.

Special Care is needed when washing wool.

Merino wool:

DROPS Baby Merino, Big Merino and Merino Extra Fine are a Superwash treated yarns, which means they should be washed in the machine, using a gentle cycle programme. That being said, there are a few more tips that are extremely relevant when it comes to caring for these yarns:

Follow the washing instructions provided on the yarn label and in the shade card for the yarn.
Wash merino wool in a 40 degrees / gentle cycle program.
Wash separately, using lots of water.
Use a small amount of wool detergent (without enzymes and optical brighteners).
NEVER use fabric softener (the wool fibers become too soft and can slide apart).
NEVER leave to soak!
NEVER leave garments wet in the washing machine for a long period of time!
NEVER hang to dry, instead dry the garments shaped on a flat surface.
