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!

    I love this wool. It’s crunchy and knits so neatly. It’s not soft, but it’s also not really itchy. I’ve used it for hats, scarves, and shawls. The colors are just lovely.

    The Lett-Lopi Icelandic Wool is just gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. The colors are beautiful! Knitting is my therapy and having high-quality, beautiful yarn enhances the experience. Thank you for the lovely yarn...and for contributing to better mental health, especially after 2020!

    I have bought Lett-Lopi Icelandic wool on repeat occasions this year and I have been very impressed with the selection, price, and quality of the wool. I received my purchases in good time and I will definitely order again.
