Icelandic wool
Icelandic wool is one of the most distinctive fibers you can knit with. Developed over centuries on the plains of Iceland, this wool has a unique structure with both a soft inner fiber (þel) and a stronger, water-repellent outer fiber (tog) – together they create a yarn that is light, insulating, and incredibly durable.
We carry a selection of the most renowned Icelandic wool yarns:
- Álafosslopi – the classic, untreated Icelandic lopi yarn
- Kvitebjørn polar – a modern Icelandic wool with Nordic character
- Alasuq – colorful and playful, perfect for children and adults
Icelandic wool is particularly well-suited for Icelandic lopapeysur, jackets, and blankets – garments designed to withstand the elements for many years.
