Istex Lopi Lettlopi
If you’re looking for a yarn that feels natural, works beautifully, and keeps you warm without weighing you down, Lettlopi is a fantastic choice. Made from 100% Icelandic wool, it has the perfect balance of strength and softness, making it easy to knit with and comfortable to wear.
Because it’s lightweight and airy, your finished projects will be warm but never bulky—great for layering through the seasons. While it’s best known for Icelandic sweaters, Lettlopi is also ideal for hats, mittens, scarves, and everyday accessories. Each 50g ball offers about 100m of yarn, giving you flexibility for both small and larger projects.
An Ancient Fibre
Icelandic sheep are an ancient breed, and have been native to Iceland for over a millenia. The often harsh environment has given rise to the sheep's double coated fleece; a long outer coat (tog), and a short, fine inner coat (thel), resulting in a beautifully warm and hardwearing yarn.
