Why choose DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk?
  • Brushed Alpaca and Silk: DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk blends 77% superfine alpaca with 23% mulberry silk, brushed to a soft halo, at 140 m per 25 g. Many knitters pick it instead of mohair because it feels gentler on skin.
  • Fine Look, Aran Gauge: The strand looks thin, but the halo fills out to aran gauge: 17 stitches per 10 cm on 5 mm needles, so sweaters grow fast. The fibers grip each other, making it slow to rip back.
  • Featherlight Warm Layers: Sweaters, cardigans, cowls and shawls come out very light yet warm, with a quiet silk sheen. Hand wash at max 30°C and dry flat; brushed alpaca can pill where sleeves and sides rub.
Description

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk – Soft Alpaca with a Silk Sheen

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk pairs brushed superfine alpaca with mulberry silk for a yarn that's warm, light and softly lustrous. The brushed finish gives a gentle halo similar to mohair — perfect for sweaters, cowls and shawls that need drape without bulk.

Why choose DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk?

  • Warm Without Weight: Alpaca traps warmth while staying light and soft against the skin.
  • Silk Sheen: Mulberry silk adds subtle shine and a smooth hand.
  • Skin-Safe Comfort: Certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class II, tested for direct skin contact.

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk is certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class II — tested free from harmful substances and safe for direct skin contact.
TIPS & TRICKS

Pro Tip: The halo hides stitches, so counting and fixing mistakes takes patience. Place stitch markers every 20 stitches, run a lifeline through a plain round before raglan or lace sections, and if you must rip back, pull slowly and tease the fibers apart rather than yanking the strand.

About Product

How many balls of DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk for a sweater?

Usually 7–8 balls for an adult sweater in size M. Aran-gauge pullovers need about 850–1,100 m, and each 25 g ball holds 140 m, so 850–1,100 m ÷ 140 m gives 7–8 balls. That means the whole sweater weighs only around 175–200 g.

Can DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk be held with another yarn?

Yes, it works as a halo strand in the same way as mohair. Held with a smooth fingering yarn such as YarnArt Forza, it gives a warmer, fuller fabric with a silky halo. The combined strand is thicker than either yarn alone, so swatch to find your needle size.

DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk vs DROPS Kid-Silk: what is the difference?

Brushed Alpaca Silk is thicker and usually knitted on its own. It is 77% alpaca with 140 m per 25 g, knitting to 17 stitches per 10 cm on 5 mm. DROPS Kid-Silk is a lace-weight 75% mohair with 210 m per 25 g, mostly held with another yarn to add halo.

Does DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk shed?

A little, especially in the first wears, as is normal for brushed yarns. Loose fibres come away from the surface and the halo settles. Shake the finished piece outdoors and give it a gentle hand wash before wearing it over dark fabrics, and store it folded rather than hung.
