What is DROPS Magic and why is it so affordable?

DROPS Magic is a classic 100% cotton Sport weight yarn, part of yarn group A and made in the European Union from Turkish cotton. It is the entry-level option among the brand’s cotton yarns, with the classic 8/4 cotton numbering and a very affordable price.

Its name is new, but the formula is not: it is the same yarn many knitters and crocheters already knew, now relaunched with a completely renewed colour palette. Its good value for money makes it a reliable basic for anyone who crafts regularly and needs a large quantity of yarn without pushing up the budget.

Is DROPS Magic the same as DROPS You 7 or DROPS Loves You 7?

Yes: it is the direct successor to DROPS Loves You 7, also searched for as DROPS You 7 or DROPS Love You 7. It is identical in composition, weight, recommended needle size and Oeko-Tex certification; only the product name and colour palette have changed, now with 69 new shades.

The original Loves You 7 colours have been discontinued by the manufacturer, so if you have used this yarn before, this is the reference you should look for from now on in our cotton yarn collection.

What projects is DROPS Magic ideal for?

It is ideal for amigurumi, baby and children’s clothing, and lightweight summer garments and accessories. Its firm twist gives good stitch definition, helping amigurumi keep their shape without the yarn splitting during stuffing.

Thanks to its Oeko-Tex Class I certification, it is suitable for baby clothing, as it contains no harmful substances and has been tested for the most sensitive skin.

In short, it is a cotton yarn for amigurumi with a very competitive price-quality ratio. Discover more options in our amigurumi yarn collection.

  • ▷ Wide range of colours: 69 shades available for endless combinations.
  • Easy to work with, thanks to its classic 8/4 cotton twist.

How should garments made with this classic cotton yarn, formerly known as DROPS Loves You 7, be cared for?

Machine wash garments on a delicate cycle at 40 ºC and always dry them flat, never hanging or in the tumble dryer. It is a classic cotton yarn that stands up well to everyday use, but like all cotton fibres, it may shrink slightly in the first wash.

Before washing the finished garment, measure its dimensions so you can reshape it correctly afterwards. Avoid ironing it directly: if ironing is necessary, always place a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric.
