If you want to start knitting the softest, most skin-friendly sweaters, blankets or winter accessories, you need to pay attention to the type and quality of your yarn.
When it comes to knitwear that will be used for clothing for either children or adults, it should be made from a natural material that is both healthy and non-scratchy.
Drops Wish is the perfect choice of material for your knitting projects. It is a soft yarn made from baby alpaca, cotton and wool.
Exclusive yarn spun from the best natural materials
Alpaca is considered to be one of the finest wool varieties available. It has become popular for creative projects as it is soft and does not cause itchy discomfort on the skin. Despite the fine and soft fibres, alpaca is a hard-wearing and tough natural material. The alpaca animals, which are mainly found in South America, are bred exclusively for their wool. The exclusive alpaca wool is often spun together with other materials when producing yarn.
In addition to the coveted baby alpaca (50%), Drops Wish consists of cotton (33%) and classic wool (17%). You know cotton from everyday textile products for the home and from children's clothing. Wool is the insulating and antibacterial natural material, which is mainly used for clothing for the winter season.
That's why Drops Wish is ideal for children's knitting
Children need clothing that gives them plenty of comfort, warmth and freedom of movement. If you've worn a sweater made from 100% classic sheep's wool, you know that it can be itchy on the skin. For children, it can be hard to abstract from physical discomfort.
Made from both alpaca wool and cotton, this soft and skin-friendly yarn is the right choice for children. While baby alpaca keeps your child warm and toasty, cotton ensures that your son or daughter has full freedom of movement with their knitting.
Children are curious, impulsive and exploratory. It is necessary to choose material for them that can be washed either by hand or in the machine.
Drops Wish can be hand washed at 30 degrees to remove dirt and sweat particles. Make sure to dry your yarn flat so it maintains its shape year after year.

Which knitting needles do I need for Drops Wish?
It helps you in your creative work that you make sure to use knitting needles that match the type and firmness of your yarn. When knitting designs from the exclusive yarn with alpaca, cotton and wool, it is recommended that you use 9mm size knitting needles. Whether you prefer aluminium, wooden or plastic knitting needles is a matter of taste. As a beginner with knitting, it can be an advantage to choose wooden sticks that give you a good grip on the accessory. Both aluminum and plastic are slippery materials that can make it a little more tricky to get good control over all the little, find movements of knitting.
It's a good idea to buy knitting needles in different materials so you can find the one that suits you best.
