Drops Fiesta is a vibrant and long wearing, sock-blend yarn that is superwash treated, which makes it machine washable and easy to care for. A fun and colourful all-round yarn that is warm and soft to the touch and suitable for far more than socks; try it on sweaters, cardigans, scarves and hats (the only thing you can’t do is felt it)!
To soften the look of a multi-coloured yarn you can hold it with a strand of kid-mohair or lace-weight alpaca, like Drops Kid-Silk or Mode at Rowan Alpaca Haze.
