DROPS Alpaca Bouclé is a lovely effect yarn spun from 2 strands of superfine alpaca with a core of wool and polyamide that gives the yarn its strength. Its natural fibers are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fiber’s natural properties, while it also provides a better shape and texture quality.

“Bouclé” is the French word for a loop and it refers to the number of small loops of pure alpaca that give the yarn its characteristic look and that enhance the softness of the fiber. Garments made in DROPS Alpaca Bouclé are light and very fluffy.

This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 23.HPE.36896), Standard 100, Class II from the Hohenstein Institute.
