Lett-lopi: Genuine 100% Pure Icelandic Lopi Wool Yarn from Istex Mills (Icelandic Textiles LTD)

Worsted weight in 50 gram skeins

Available in over 40 shades is Lett-Lopi, which is half the weight of Alafoss Lopi. It is a perfect alternative for those who want the advantage of Lopi wool but prefer a lighter weight yarn. It's great for colorwork on cardigans and ski sweaters. Icelandic sheep fleece is double layered, and in the same way that the sheep are kept warm and dry, the wearers of Lopi can expect the same results. The wool of Icelandic sheep consists of two types of fibers, inner and outer. The inner layer of light fine fibers are soft and crinkly, insulating well against the cold, while the outer fibers are long and course and smooth - and as a result, water repellent. Moisture cannot penetrate, because it runs down the outer fibers. These fibers are irregular, and they create air spaces when that are loosely bound together. The two combined create a light but sturdy water resistant yarn.
 
These yarns are terrific for felting, too!

    Lett Lopi Purchase

    Posted by Judy Y. on Feb 12th 2022

    I placed an order with Handknitting.com for a few extra skeins of Lett Lopi yarn that was not available at my local yarn shop. So happy to have found this site! The order was processed quickly and now I can keep motoring along on my project. Thanks, Laurel!

    Thanks for your quick delivery. I had bought this yarn in Iceland and did not have enough for the Twined Mittens I am knitting. Now I can finish them before it gets really cold here in NJ.

    This is the first time ordering yarn from hand knitting. com. and it won’t be my last. Wonderful customer service and very knowledgeable and helpful! They have a great understanding of buying sight unseen and are very accommodating. Thank you! This is my first experience with this Letti-Lopi Icelandic wool and I’m enjoying it. I just started my sock pattern and it’s perfect.
