Details
Pure resilient Icelandic wool! This light and fluffy single-ply yarn is traditionally used for Icelandic sweaters. This heavy-worsted/aran weight works up into sweaters that are appropriate for indoor and outdoor wear. Fabric made from this yarn will have a classic wool feel, be slightly fuzzy, extremely durable, lightweight, breathable, and bloom beautifully when washed. This yarn also felts nicely making it a good choice for knit-to-felt projects. The 45 natural and vibrantly dyed color options available make this a good choice for Fairisle and other colorwork projects.
Léttlopi is spun from the wool of Icelandic sheep, one of the world's oldest breeds. What makes Icelandic wool so special? It contains two different types of hair that serve as a natural barrier from wet and cold weather. A tough and water-resistant outer layer - composed of coarse, long fibers known as Tog. Underneath the Tog is a layer of shorter fibers, known in Iceland as þel. This softer layer ensures the sheep stay snug and warm even in the worst weather conditions. These dual layers provide phenomenal protection even in knitted clothing, come rain or snow if any moisture escapes through the water-resistant Tog layer, the þel can keep you warm even when wet! This wonderous wool was milled into Léttlopi by Ístex in Iceland.
