Drops Baby Alpaca Silk is a very affordable high quality yarn.

Great for those special baby garments (and we think babies are even more huggable when they’re wearing Alpaca Silk!).

Drops BabyAlpaca Silk is spun from a wonderful blend of 70% baby alpaca for softness and 30% mulberry silk for strength and a silky shine. The fibres are untreated and so are free from any chemical treatment before being dyed. This highlights the fibre’s natural properties and gives the yarn and your work a better quality shape and texture.

Baby AlpacaSilk is soft against the skin, cooling when hot and warm when cold. It is great for baby garments and deliciously luxurious for you!

We stock every colour in the Drops Baby Alpaca Silk range. If Drops have it, we stock it!
