Description

Lopi – the very word conjures up images of traditional yoked sweaters in colors that evoke the rugged nature of Iceland. But take a closer look at this yarn! Lopi isn’t just traditional anymore. A wide array of contemporary colors makes it perfect for a great range of styles and uses.
The lightly spun single ply yarn knits quickly and easily. Lopi sweaters keep you warm on the coldest winter days and it is a favorite for knitting oversize and felting, a great technique for the heartiest felted mittens.

Knitters:
Traditionally knit 'in-the-round', Icelandic pullovers and cardigans are fast and easy projects. Leftovers are great for making hats and mittens. For a fun project, knit your piece oversized and then try felting to create extra warm and durable garments and accessories.

Weavers:
It’s suitable for weft but not suggested for warp.
- great for blankets, jackets, shawls, and wall hangings
- works well as a twill threading with Harrisville Highland, Bartlett worsted, or Peace Fleece at 6-10 epi
(Use a 1 up 3 down tie-up so the Lopi will sit on the surface and show off. weave 1-3 tabby shots between Lopi wefts to create a firm backing.)

Lopi is a little too soft to use as a warp, but it makes a great weft for blankets, jackets and shawls, as well as wall hangings.
This is a great way to combine texture with color and weave effects.

Care: Handwash gently in cool water with a delicate laundry soap. Do not wring or agitate as this yarn will felt. Block and lay flat to dry.
