Customer Reviews
Amelia Peterson
As someone who’s been knitting for over 20 years, DROPS Merino Extra Fine has completely elevated my projects. The stitch definition is impeccable—every cable and rib pops beautifully. I’ve made several sweaters that have held their shape for years, and the yarn feels incredibly soft against the skin. The affordable pricing means I can take on larger projects without compromise.
Lucas Bernard
I’m primarily a crocheter, and DROPS Safran has become my go-to for summer garments. The mercerized cotton gives such a lovely sheen, and it’s durable even after countless washes. I made a set of crochet tops for my nieces last year, and they still look brand new! The color range is stunning, and the yarn glides perfectly through my hook with no splitting.
Sophia Nguyen
DROPS Air is honestly a dream to work with—so light, so fluffy, yet surprisingly warm. I used it for a winter scarf and matching hat, and they feel luxurious without being heavy. The blend of alpaca and wool creates that perfect cozy halo. Plus, I appreciate DROPS’ transparency about sourcing and sustainability—it makes every project feel even more meaningful.
