DROPS yarn at Folklore Yarns: beautiful fibres, endless possibilities

Great projects begin with yarn you’re excited to use. Discover DROPS yarns at Folklore Yarns, from fine mohair and silk to soft merino, smooth cotton and characterful alpaca blends. Whether you’re knitting a favourite cardigan, crocheting a colourful blanket or making a thoughtful gift, our range gives you plenty of ways to match the fibre, texture and weight to your idea.

Why choose DROPS yarn?

The strength of DROPS lies in its variety. Choose the softness and elasticity of merino for textured knitting, cotton for a smooth finish, or brushed fibres for an airy halo. From delicate lace-weight Kid Silk to generously sized Polaris, the range offers different ways to create the fabric you want. It’s a collection to return to as your skills grow, your tastes change and new projects catch your eye.

Merino and alpaca for comforting stitches

Explore DROPS Merino Extra Fine and Big Merino, both made from superwash-treated extra-fine merino wool. Big Merino’s multi-strand construction gives it elasticity and an even finish that shows off cables and structured stitches. For a more rustic texture, DROPS Nepal combines wool with alpaca, balancing softness with shape stability. Discover DROPS Alpaca in 100% superfine alpaca, or try Air’s blown construction for a different feel.

Cotton yarns for knitting and crochet

Find fresh possibilities with DROPS Muskat, a 100% Egyptian cotton yarn with a gentle shine and durable multi-strand construction. DROPS Paris offers 100% combed cotton in an Aran weight, while Cotton Merino brings together equal parts wool and cotton. For a blend with delicate texture and sheen, explore Belle’s combination of cotton, viscose and linen. From garments and accessories to crochet homewares, there’s plenty to inspire your next make.

From delicate detail to bold texture

Choose DROPS Kid Silk for its light, brushed blend of mohair and mulberry silk, or explore Melody for a softly brushed alpaca-and-merino blend. For bigger stitches, Snow and Polaris offer 100% wool options that are also suitable for felting. Enjoy experimenting with texture, but always check your pattern’s tension, yardage and care requirements before choosing your yarn.
