Istex Lopi Plotulopi

Unspun Icelandic Wool

Lopi Plotulopi is a "plate" of unspun new Icelandic wool. This yarn is fragile yet works into a lightweight, sturdy, and warm fabric. This roving style yarn knits to a worsted weight gauge on a US 7 knitting needle when knit single. Hold Plotulopi double using a US 9 knitting needle for a bulky weight yarn. Extra care must be taken when working with this delicate yarn because the roving nature will cause the yarn to break if pulled tight during the knitting or crochet process. Not only will this yarn look lovely when worked into garments, but it's also an excellent option for cold-weather accessories and felting projects.
