DROPS Fiesta: Superwash Sock Wool 50 g

What is DROPS Fiesta and why does it stand out among sock wools?

It is a superwash sock wool —a fibre treatment that prevents shrinkage and allows machine washing— in DK weight, with 75% wool and 25% polyamide in 50 g balls (approx. 110 m). Its four strands provide warmth, softness and durability.

It is the only yarn in the DROPS range in DK weight that combines a superwash finish with the DROPS Fiesta Print range: colours with an almost hand-dyed look, with shade variations in each ball, making every project unique. In narrow pieces such as socks, the pattern forms defined stripes; in jumpers and wider garments, the gradient spreads out and softens.

Made in the European Union with wool from South America and polyamide from Germany, it also has Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class I certification —the strictest level, suitable even for baby garments from 0 to 3 years old—. For those looking for a warm sock yarn that is easy to care for, it is a hard-to-beat option.

What projects can DROPS Fiesta be used for?

This yarn is, above all, a superwash sock wool: its DK weight and wool-polyamide blend make it ideal for warm adult and children’s socks, although it also works very well for jumpers, hats, neck warmers and mittens that require frequent washing.

• ▷ Adult and children’s socks and booties (main and recommended use)
• ▷ Mid-season jumpers and cardigans
• ▷ Hats, neck warmers and scarves for frequent use
• ▷ Mittens and fingerless mittens that are washed regularly
• ▷ Children’s outer garments that need frequent washing

The DROPS Fiesta Print colours are especially striking in socks and narrow pieces, where the colour transitions form well-defined stripes that vary from one ball to another. This yarn is a pleasure to knit with thanks to how easily it works up and the consistency of the resulting stitches, whether for socks, hats or everyday jumpers.

How should garments knitted with DROPS Fiesta be cared for?

Garments knitted with this sock yarn can be machine washed thanks to the superwash finish: simply select the wool or delicate programme at 40 °C, use a detergent without enzymes or bleaching agents, and avoid fabric softener. To maintain shape and colour, always dry flat.

This finish acts on the fibre scales to prevent the matting and shrinkage typical of untreated wools, which is especially valuable in socks and frequently worn garments. Unlike conventional wools, it does not require hand washing or drying moulds: once laid flat on a towel, it naturally recovers its shape.
