Specs:

  • 50g / approx. 80 yards

  • Worsted weight, approx. (handspun means the yarn is more rustic and less consistent than mill-spun. This is by design for our yarn as we want you to be able to feel the expression of our beloved sheep! Depending on your gauge and needle size, you can use this yarn anywhere from DK weight through Aran.)

  • Woolen spun

  • Wet block or steam final project. NOTE: Icelandic fiber felts EXTREMELY easily. We recommend blocking with cool water, and no agitation.

Made from the dual-coated fleece of our very own Icelandic sheep, our handspun lopi yarn showcases the unique blend of strong, silky tog and soft, airy thel. The result is a lofty, lightweight yarn with exceptional warmth, breathability, and rustic character. Traditionally used for iconic Icelandic sweaters, handspun lopi is perfect for knitting, felting, weaving, or other fiber arts that call for natural texture and timeless durability. Each skein carries the heritage of Iceland’s hardy sheep, the love of our flock, and the craft of hand spinning.

We’re so excited to have been included as the yarn for Sari Nordland’s new pattern, the Ballard Beanie! That pattern takes a little more than 2 skeins of our yarn for the longer-brimmed version. You can also spin your own yarn for this pattern using 150g of our Icelandic Roving!
