The Icelandic Wool:

Q.  What is so special about the Icelandic Wool?

A.  The characteristics of the Icelandic wool is unique in its composition and consists of two types of fibres;

*INNER FIBRES - INSULATING: Fine, soft, highly insulating. The micron count of the inner fibers is 26-28.
*OUTER FIBRES - WATER-REPELLENT: Long, glossy, water-repellent. The micron count of the outer fibers is 36+.

Together, these two distinctive fibres create a wool that is lightweight - lighter than most other wools and keeps you warm and comfortable. Water-repellent - repels rain and stays feeling dry. Breathable - moisture passes through the fibres away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Garments made from Icelandic wool are highly breathable, very warm and comfortable.

Q.  How do you recommend washing the wool?

A.  Álafoss Lopi, Bulky Lopi and Létt Lopi Instructions:
Handwash only in lukewarm water (30°C / 86°F). Soak the garment in the suds for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Do not rub or wring about but gently squeeze the liquid through the garment. If necessary, spin for about 1-3 minutes to remove excess moisture. Dry flat, smooth the garment out and pull gently into shape.

Plötulopi Instructions: 
Garments knitted from Plötulopi are washed in the same way as garments knitted from Álafoss Lopi, Bulky Lopi or Létt Lopi, except when washed for the first time. Do not pre-soak the garment in the suds. Wash the garment by squeezing the suds through the knitwear, then rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. 

Note: It is often enough to air a wollen garment thoroughly, rather than washing it. 

Q.  Can I make an Icelandic Lopapeysa myself?

A.  Of course you can! We offer various types of knitting kits which include everything you´ll need to get you started!
