Drops Air is a deliciously soft and airy yarn. It knits up beautifully into hats, scarves, cowls, sweaters, blankets, toys - you name it! It is a 'blown' yarn, which means it has a core (polyamide) that is a knitting tube, and then the fibre is literally blown on to it, creating a light, fluffy, fuzzy haze of alpaca floating around it. It knits up easily, and you can even knit with 2 strands held together to bulk it up to a bulky weight (try a 6.5mm/US10.5). the yardage is also generous, coming in at 150m for a 50g ball. One of the extra bonuses with this yarn is that it's been used a zillion times on , so there's lots of pattern inspiration out there and you know that its not going to let you down.
