Lopi (Icelandic yarn)

Lopi is a traditional Icelandic yarn made from the fleece of Icelandic sheep, known for its warmth, durability, and excellent insulating properties. It is spun into thick, yarns that are often used for knitting sweaters, scarves, and hats suitable for cold climates. Lopi’s fibers are naturally water-resistant and airy, providing warmth without weight. Its distinct rustic texture and natural color variations reflect Iceland’s rugged landscape. Lopi’s historical and cultural significance, combined with its functionality and resilience, make it a popular choice for high-quality, long-lasting garments suited to extreme weather conditions.
