DROPS Alaska: The Timeless Classic in Pure Untreated Wool for Your Creations
Immerse yourself in the knitting experience with DROPS Alaska, a true timeless classic from the DROPS collection, loved since its debut in the 1980s. This exceptional yarn is made from 100% pure untreated wool sourced from South America. The term “untreated” means the wool fibers are only washed and not exposed to harsh chemical processes before dyeing. This gentle approach helps preserve the wool’s best natural qualities, contributing to better shape retention and an enhanced fiber structure. With its three-strand construction, DROPS Alaska offers reliable, time-tested quality for all your projects.
Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide variety of patterns, from garments for the whole family to accessories. One of its most appreciated features is its ability to be felted, opening up new creative possibilities. While softness is a subjective quality, many knitters find it pleasantly soft for a 100% pure wool yarn. It’s worth noting that pilling is a natural process that can occur with wear, especially in areas subject to friction, but pills are easily removed to keep your garments looking their best.
For care, DROPS Alaska should be hand washed at a maximum temperature of 30°C and laid flat to dry. Do not wring or twist. This is not a superwash yarn and is not suitable for machine washing. Safety and sustainability are key values behind DROPS Alaska. The yarn is certified according to the prestigious Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 – Class I, which ensures rigorous testing and confirms the absence of harmful substances. Class I is the highest level of safety, making DROPS Alaska suitable even for garments intended for babies.
