If you will use size 8, the knitting will be very loose. Please check Drops Nepal yarn. It is perfect for sixe 8 needle and the content is the same as Drops Lima (65% wool, 35% alpaca). Drops Nepal is a little bit thicker and usually the gauge is 17 stitches and 22 rows per 4 inches. But it can be slightly different depending on how do you knit: loose or tight. **Q: Can I make socks with this yarn?** A: I am not an expert, however I love the yarn and the shade, I would attempt to make socks from the yarn, if it were me. I only make scarves and aphghans. No clue how to make socks. Go for it! **Q: Will you adjust the shipping price if more than one ball is ordered?** A: Yes, the shipping cost will be recalculated automatically at checkout and it depends on the quantity. **Q: Can this yarn be machine washed and dried? Any special care needed?** A: No, this yarn cannot be machine washed. I recommend you to choose Drops Karisma (100% superwash wool). This yarn is in similar thickness as Drops Lima. ## Frequently Bought Together - 65% Wool and 35% Alpaca Yarn for Knitting and Crocheting, 3 or Light, Worsted, DK Weight, Drops Lima, 1.8 oz 109 Yards per Ball (4305 Dark Blue) - ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 32 inch (81cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 0 (2mm) 7032-0 - Alpaca Boucle (2020 Light Beige) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/344504987-65-wool-and-35-alpaca-yarn-for-knitting-and-crocheting](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/344504987-65-wool-and-35-alpaca-yarn-for-knitting-and-crocheting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
