Wool & Fiber

Lopi yarn, spun from the fleece of Icelandic sheep, is a distinctive fiber known for its warmth, durability, and rustic charm. The unique dual-coated fleece of these sheep, with a long, coarse outer layer (tog) and a soft, insulating inner layer (þel), is processed together to create a yarn that is both weather-resistant and cozy. Lopi yarn is especially popular for knitting traditional Icelandic sweaters, known as Lopapeysa, as well as hats, scarves, and other cold-weather accessories. It's appreciated for its ability to bloom and fill in gaps in the knitted fabric after washing, creating a warm and sturdy garment.
