Lopi Alafosslopi - 100g

The Best, the Original! This is the yarn that all the traditional Icelandic Lopi sweaters are made of! It’s chunky, quick to knit and superbly warm to wear. You’ll never wear a warmer jumper, ever! While not the softest-on-the-skin yarn, it blooms wonderfully after washing and gets softer with every time you wear it. Lopi has an excellent environmental record with Icelandic sheep being reared to some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world and the majority being allowed to roam the land and graze on pasture as much of the year as possible. This yarn is absolutely made for stranded colour work, think all the amazing Fairisle sweaters from Linka Neumann or check out the pattern books from Lopi themselves, like this one. Alafosslopi has the perfect amount of grip, so that your yoked sweater won’t distort, will keep its shape really well and last you a lifetime!

Each colourway of this yarn is a wonderful blend of more-than-one colour of fibre, which gives a wonderful depth to every colour.
