Istex Lettlopi is wool from Iceland. The traditional Icelandic yoke cardigans and pullovers look fresh as ever, and with the original, rustic Icelandic wool you can make an authentic Lopapeysa.
Ístex Léttlopi is aran weight yarn, lighter than Alafosslopi. It is warm and comfortable indoors and excellent for outdoor knitwear. The Icelandic wool is like no other, the long fibers make the knitted garment water resistant while the short ones insulate and keep you warm.
Lettlopi has an outstanding variety of colors. Natural undyed shades accompanied with both bright and muted colors are inspired by the Northern landscape. This yarn is made for stranded knitting and colorwork (go on and try steeking, too, if you haven't yet!). Lopi felts also well.
The yarn feels rustic, even coarse, and the wool might feel itchy next to skin for some, but we encourage you to give Lettlopi a try. The knitted fabric softens and relaxes after the first wash and when worn. Knitwear from Icelandic wool is breathable, water-repellent and durable. Will definitely last for decades.
A medium-sized cardigan needs approximately 600 g of Lettlopi. Two balls make a hat or a pair of mittens, one ball a pair of kids' mitts.
Care Instructions: Airing in fresh outdoor air helps the wool clean itself. If you want wash off visible dirt, use cold water and detergent suitable for water. Lay flat to dry.
