We love alpaca fibres, so it’ll come as no surprise that we love DROPS Nepal Mix yarn. With a beautiful blend of Peruvian wool and alpaca fibres, you get a lovely authentic yarn that has a natural softness. It’s spun from three strands with carded colours, so you get a lovely mixed tonal effect in the final yarn. There are 15 colours in the Mix range, but the Nepal range is also available in 31 solid uni-colour shades in both bright and pastel tones, giving you a great choice of colours for any project. Hand wash only. www.garnstudio.com
