Fiber
The sheep determine the color of the yarn! Lopi makes excellent hats and after testing these all winter I can say they are exceptionally warm. What is also special is that they are warm in both -10 degrees or 50 degrees and are amazingly wind-proof. Since the yarn has both the weatherproof guard fiber (tog) and the insulating down (thel), once you wear a hat a few times it “fuzzes-up” a bit and is impervious to the weather - just like the sheep! We have many colors available to give us a call!
Lopi-Style Yarn
Lopi-style yarn is a very loosely twisted singles yarn. It is perfect for outdoor wear (hats, sweaters, scarves, etc.) because of the wonderful water repellent quality of the tog plus the warmth of the thel of the Icelandic sheep. The dual coat of the Icelandic sheep sets it apart from other wool and Iceland has become famous for this special yarn. Lopi felts amazingly well, making it the perfect choice for purses, slippers and other projects. Enjoy your yarn, but recognize that it has a fragile nature until after it is knitted because it is only 1½ twists per inch from being roving.
