NEW QUALITY, DROPS NEPAL

DROPS Nepal is our latest quality, expected in stock aprox week 5.
It is a lovely, chunky luxurious yarn spun in 35% alpaca and 65% wool.
The mix accentuates the softness of alpaca and the wool contributes to the garments’ shape stability. The quality is spun from 3 strands which gives an exciting and rustic stitch definition. DROPS Nepal is an easily knitted quality and on needle size 5mm even larger garments are quickly completed. DROPS Nepal is ideal for felting. The felted garments have an even and soft surface.

This is an incredible quality at a very good price.
Max price only: 2.00 GBP / 3.95 USD per 50 gr. skein

DROPS Nepal belongs to yarn group C and can be used for patterns in Alaska, Silke-Alpaca, Big Fabel, Bomull-Lin and Lin. Remember that different yarn qualities have different structures and usage.

DROPS pattern database

This is for all of you with knitting as a hobby and for you who run a yarn store.
Either way, the DROPS pattern database is at your free disposal.
As a store you are welcome to use the DROPS pattern database to promote the sale of your assortment. Print out any pattern you may want, make as many copies as desired. The only thing we ask is that you don't make any changes / additions to the original printed document ... and that the patterns according to the DROPS philosophy are given out to the consumers for free.

We currently offer 4193 free patterns translated to english.

The first DROPS pattern books were published in the autumn of 1985. Since then, more than 100 books and 4210 different patterns have been created... If you want to see them all go to the Norwegian database.

The basic DROPS design philosophy has always been the creative zest, the diversity of colours and the simple, but eye-catching effects. We design our patterns in line with current fashion trends, and aim to make our patterns as easy to understand and follow as possible.

On these pages, we endeavour to bring you the best knitting has to offer, inspiration, advice and new ideas – if there’s anything you would like to see on our site, please let us know and we’ll do our outmost to meet your requests.
