Lopi Lettlopi – 100% Icelandic wool

Lopi Lettlopi

Lopi Lettlopi is an Icelandic wool yarn for lightweight, warm and breathable knits. Icelandic sheep’s wool contains two types of fibre: the shorter inner fibres provide warmth, while the longer outer fibres add strength and greater resistance to moisture.

Why choose Lettlopi?

• Uses: suitable for traditional Icelandic patterned jumpers, vests, hats and outdoor garments.
• Texture: unwashed wool may feel coarser, but washing allows the fibres to relax and the fabric to become loftier.
• Certification: the manufacturer states that the yarn carries the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label, indicating testing against the requirements of this standard.
• Colours: choose from natural, earthy and bright shades for traditional and contemporary patterns.

Care recommendations

Wool garments do not always need washing after every wear – airing is often enough. When washing is necessary:

• hand wash at no more than 30 °C;
• use a detergent intended for wool;
• do not soak for long, rub or wring by twisting;
• remove moisture by gently pressing the item between towels;
• dry flat, reshaped to its original form, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Before knitting a garment worn next to the skin, knit, wash and assess a swatch, as the feel of wool is individual.
