In brief Drops Andes

Drops Andes is a 2-strand traditionally spun yarn consisting of 65% wool and 35% superfine alpaca. The alpaca fibres give the yarn a silky smooth surface, while the wool adds stability. The natural fibres are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not subjected to chemical treatment before dyeing. This preserves the natural properties of the fibre and gives the yarn both better shape and a beautiful texture. Drops Andes is easy to work with on thicker knitting needles and crochet hooks. Andes is particularly suitable for felting. Andes is also ideal for winter clothing, accessories and interior projects.

Read more about washing yarn

 

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:

  • Hand wash 30ºC - separately - with a detergent without enzymes or optical brighteners.
  • Don't soak the garment, move it gently back and forth without lifting, scrubbing or twisting.
  • Rinse the clothes until the rinse water is completely clear, making sure to keep the water at the same temperature.
  • Spin the garment lightly (approx. 800 revolutions), choose a programme that does NOT take in water when you start the spin cycle. Or gently squeeze the water out of the clothes with a dry towel. Do not wring or roll the clothes.
  • Dry clothes flat in the correct shape and size - do not hang - preferably on a warm bathroom floor or on a drying rack in a room with good circulation, never in direct sunlight.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Never iron directly on the garment. Use a tea towel between the iron and the garment.

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.
