DROPS Andes is spun with 2 strands in the traditional combination of 65% Peruvian Highland wool and 35% superfine alpaca, which gives it a silky feel (thanks to the alpaca fibers) and a stable shape for the garments. Its fibers are untreated, meaning the wool has only been washed and has not undergone any chemical processes before dyeing. This enhances the natural properties of the fibers while also improving shape and texture.
