DROPS Lima is a 4 strands sport yarn, made in a combination of 65% wool and 35% superfine alpaca, and its fibers are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fibers’ natural properties, while also providing a better shape and texture quality.
DROPS Lima is perfect for outdoor garments like classic Norwegian sweaters and sportswear, that are usually knitted tight for good shape stability. Hard wearing and durable like any great wool yarn should be, it also has the lovely properties from the alpaca, being soft and comfortable. A sport yarn with a touch of luxury!

I ordered some knitting supplies and they came very quickly and packaged so nicely. Would definitely recommend and I will definitely be purchasing from this company again. I have no affiliation with anyone at this company and am not being paid to say these things. Great Canadian company.
I contacted Cindy because I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for a friend living near by. Being the neophyte, I couldn't find on the website where to purchase a gift certificate, so, I sent her a note via the 'contact me' section of the website. Cindy responded quickly. The gift certificate was generated and sent on to the 'birthday girl'. What great customer service. Thank you Cindy
Excellent service and a fantastic business! The prices are competitive and my order arrived the very next day. I also appreciated the personal note and extra touch. I highly recommend this shop and will be sure to throw my business this way again.
