DROPS has always focussed on design, and we have been credited with a big influence on the 80's with our over-dimensional shapes, often knitted in mohair, and on the 90's with a more refined stylish and classic look. DROPS design still carry this innovative approach and we have a big influence on the knitting/crochet trend with constant new ideas and designs. We focus on expanding and renew our area of expertise, felting and the use of Alpaca are good examples of this. Knitted and crochet items are now also widely used as accessories and within interior design. The DROPS collections always feature a large range of designs and patterns, directed at beginners as well as the more experienced knitters and at those who want quick results and those who wants more of a challenge. The DROPS Yarn range has been developed in close collaboration with the DROPS designers both in terms of fibre content and other specifications. A great design will never look better then the yarn it's made from, and here the DROPS designers don't compromise. The DROPS yarns are available in the most gorgeous natural fibres in a beautiful range of colours. Each quality/each mix/each design has been specifically chosen to enhance the yarn's unique qualities, and at the same time enhance the feeling of quality which a DROPS yarn provides. Our ambition is to always being able to offer a DROPS yarn quality, mo matter the knitting/crochet project. The DROPS Price policy is to always be 20-30 % below the general market price level. To make sure our customers benefit from this, the DROPS yarn is always marketed with a price guarantee, we call the max price. Max price is a guarantee from our retailers to our customers that the DROPS products are sold at these prices, or less. You may see the max process on our web pages, in the general price list as well as in the individual patterns or in the seasonal DROPS catalogues.
