Drops Lima is a 4-strand sports yarn made from a blend of 65% wool and 35% superfine alpaca. The fibres are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not subjected to chemical treatment before dyeing. This process emphasises the yarn's natural properties and improves shape and texture.
Lima is ideal for outdoor clothing, such as classic Nordic sweaters, which are often knitted tighter for optimal shape retention. The combination of wool and alpaca creates a hard-wearing and durable yarn with the comfortable properties that alpaca is known for. In short, it's a sports quality with an extra luxurious touch!

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.
