Please be aware that the colours shown may vary from screen to screen in the same way that shades may vary slightly from dye lot to dye lot.

Drops Lima is a luxurious blend of 65% wool and 35% Alpaca in a double knit weight yarn. The Alpaca brings softness and comfort and the wool adds definition to your stitches and helps your work keep its shape well. A very practical and hard wearing yarn with an extra touch of luxury.

Drops Lima is great for outdoor wear and also works up well for projects such as throws.

The wool fibre is untreated which means it is free from any chemical treatment before being dyed. This highlights the wool’s natural properties and gives the yarn and your work a better quality shape and texture.

DROPS Lima contains mixed colours, this means the wool is manufactured by carding the colours together before spinning, which gives it a mixed effect.

We stock every colour in the Drops Lima range. If Drops have it, we stock it!
