Blocking DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk?

Edited by anniekins at 2025-12-8 16:28

Hello,
I just finished knitting a sweater in Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk (a blend of brushed alpaca and silk) and I was wondering whether or not I should block it?
On the one hand, I think it needs to be stretched a bit, but on the other hand, I am worried that this type of yarn won't block well.

Has anyone here ever blocked this type of yarn?
And if so, what did you think of the result?

Thanks for sharing your experiences :)

Hola,yo acabo de terminar un chal con esa lana y después de mojarla la he acomodado suavemente.Ha quedado bien.Pero no era un bloqueo fuerte,solo darle forma.Espero haberte ayudado

Lo que si cometí el error de centrifugar en lavadora.??.Lo vi en el ig de una diseñadora y se me ocurrió hacerlo.Se apelmazo un poco y lo arregle dejándolo en remojo con vinagre.Algo ha mejorado pero se nota algo.No queda tan suelto como el otro que teji.Una mala prueba, perdiendo se aprende

I've never made anything with this yarn alone but used it mixed with other yarns and I always block. For delicate yarns I'm very carefull not to stretch or hold it so it hangs. I wash and delicately lay flat to dry
