What is DROPS Karisma DK

Karisma is a four ply DK weight wool yarn that has been loved by knitters and crocheters since the 1980s. It is spun from South American wool and processed in the EU, giving a nice balance of softness, bounce and durability.

Because the yarn is superwash treated, finished pieces can be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle at 40 °C. That makes Karisma a practical choice for everyday jumpers, kids’ clothes and winter accessories that see a lot of wear. The fabric feels warm but not heavy and keeps its shape well over time.

Key features at a glance

• 100% pure wool

• Superwash treated for gentle machine washing

• Oeko Tex Standard 100 Class I certified

• DK weight, four strand construction

• Around 100 m per 50 g ball

• Recommended needle size 4 mm

• Gauge around 21 stitches and 28 rows over 10 cm

• Wool sourced from South America and spun in the EU

The structure of the yarn gives very clear stitch definition. Stocking stitch looks smooth and even, while cables, textured patterns and colourwork stand out crisply.

Soft, safe and comfortable

DROPS Karisma carries the Oeko Tex Standard 100 Class I certification, which means it has been tested and approved for use in items for babies and children up to three years old.

In practice this means you can confidently use Karisma for:

• Baby jumpers, rompers and cardigans

• Newborn hats, booties and mittens

• Cot and pram blankets

• Toddler sweaters and cosy sets

The yarn feels pleasantly soft for most people while still behaving like real wool. It has enough elasticity to sit well on the body, so cuffs, ribs and necklines stay neat and snug.

What you can make with Karisma DK

The DK thickness makes this a very versatile yarn. It works with a huge number of patterns that call for DK, 8 ply or light worsted yarns. Popular project ideas include:

• Everyday jumpers and cardigans for women and men

• Classic school style sweaters for children

• Hats, scarves, snoods and mittens for the whole family

• Textured cushions and throws for the home

• Scandinavian style colourwork yokes and Fair Isle designs

• Aran and cable patterns with strong definition

Because the palette is so wide, it is easy to build colour stories. You can keep it simple with one shade for a minimal wardrobe piece or combine several colours for stripes, blocks and intricate stranded motifs.

Colour range

On Hollywool.eu you will find over 50 colours of DROPS Karisma DK. The range includes:

• Soft creams, greys and browns for everyday basics

• Rich jewel tones for statement garments

• Fresh pastels for baby knits and delicate accessories

• Heathered mix shades with gentle depth and interest

Solid and mix colours combine well, which makes Karisma a good choice for multi colour designs like Nordic pullovers, yoked sweaters and patterned blankets.

Care instructions

To keep your hand made pieces looking their best, follow these care tips:

• Machine wash at 40 °C on a gentle or wool cycle

• Use a mild detergent suitable for wool

• Do not use fabric softener

• Do not soak the garment

• Reshape while damp and dry flat on a towel

• Do not tumble dry

• If needed, press lightly with a steam iron through a damp cloth

With this kind of care, garments keep their shape and colour and can be enjoyed season after season.
