Drops Alpaca Bouclé is a soft and lightweight textured yarn with small loops on the surface. The yarn is made mainly of alpaca, combined with wool and polyamide, which provide warmth, lightness and strength.
The bouclé texture gives the yarn a lively and slightly shaggy look, which makes even simple stitches look interesting. That’s why Drops Alpaca Bouclé is particularly well suited to projects where the yarn’s texture can form part of the design. Use it for soft jumpers, cardigans, waistcoats, ponchos, shawls, scarves, hats, blankets and cosy projects for the cold season. It’s a great choice when you want a yarn that feels warm and full-bodied without being heavy.

Yarn consumption always depends on the pattern, size, technique, how tightly you knit or crochet, and whether you’re using the yarn on its own or combined with another thread. You should therefore always use the specific pattern as a guide when ordering yarn. Drops Alpaca Bouclé comes in balls of approximately 50 grams, and each ball contains approximately 140 metres. The yarn is light and full-bodied, so it can create plenty of volume without feeling heavy.
Small details or decorations: 1–2 balls
Hats, neck warmers or small accessories for adults: 2–4 balls
See, for example, this hat/balaclava for adults, knitted using 3 balls of Drops Alpaca Boucle
And to go with that, a little Brushed Alpaca Silk: Polar Play
Children’s balaclavas or children’s accessories: 2–3 balls
See, for example, this balaclava for children aged 2–14 with ears.
This pattern uses approximately 2 balls of Drops Alpaca Bouclé and 1 or 2 balls of Drops Baby Merino:
Snow Bear Balaclava
Adult vests: 3–6 balls
Take, for example, this knitted waistcoat, which uses 5 balls of Drops Alpaca Boucle:
Latte Love Vest
Short-sleeved blouse for adults: 4–7 balls
Take, for example, this knitted top in stockinette stitch, which uses 4 balls of yarn for a medium size:
Rising Cloud
Sweater or jumper for adults: 5–10 skeins
Take, for example, this knitted jumper in stockinette stitch, which requires 7 balls of yarn for a medium size:
Peach Blossom Sweater
Allow for +/- 1 size if you go up or down a size
Cardigan or jacket: 8–14 keys
Take a look at this knitted cardigan in stockinette stitch (with buttons)
For a size large, use 7 balls of Drops Alpaca Boucle:
Almond Butter Cardigan
Rug or throw: 20 balls (1 kilo)
Hand wash, max 30°C / Dry flat
Firstly, you should always consider whether the clothes only need to be aired rather than washed. If you decide to wash, here are some guidelines:
Please note: If you want to wash a project that is a combination of this and another yarn, follow the washing instructions for the yarn with the finest/most delicate fibres.
Drops Alpaca Bouclé is made up of 80% alpaca, 15% wool and 5% polyamide. This results in a soft, warm and airy yarn with a little extra strength from the polyamide.
Bouclé means ‘loop’. In Drops Alpaca Bouclé, these appear as small loops on the surface of the yarn, giving it its characteristic soft, airy and slightly shaggy look.
Drops Alpaca Bouclé belongs to yarn group C and corresponds to Aran/worsted. It is suitable for patterns with a gauge of around 16–19 stitches per 10 cm.
The recommended needle size is 5 mm. The stated gauge is 17 stitches x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm. Always make a gauge swatch ;) Especially if you’re making clothes where the size is important.
Yes, Drops Alpaca Boulcé can be used for crochet. It’s particularly lovely for ponchos, shawls, blankets, neck warmers and projects using simple stitches, where the yarn’s looped texture is allowed to create the look.
Yes, Drops Alpaca Bouclé is a soft and airy yarn with a warm alpaca feel. The yarn’s loops create a fluffy surface that feels cosy and light.
Drops Alpaca Bouclé is suitable for beginners, but the stitches can be difficult to see compared to a traditional smooth yarn. So if you’re completely new to knitting and would like to try this type of yarn, it’s best to start with simple projects such as a scarf, where you don’t have to keep track of lots of details all the time.
Yes, Drops Alpaca Bouclé can be felted. This also means that the yarn must be washed very gently if you do not want it to felt.
No, Drops Alpaca Bouclé is not superwash-treated. It should therefore be hand-washed and handled with care to ensure that your project retains its shape and texture.
Yes, Drops Alpaca Bouclé can be used alongside other yarns, provided you get the knitting or crochet tension right. This can create an interesting texture and extra volume, but the result will naturally be different from that achieved with a smooth yarn.
Drops Alpaca Bouclé yarn can be used for soft jumpers, cardigans, waistcoats, ponchos, shawls, scarves, hats, balaclavas, blankets, throws and cosy projects for the home. It’s particularly good when you want a warm, airy and fluffy look.
