Chunky Fjolskylda Lopi-Style Yarn | Beige

Our lopi-style yarn takes full advantage of our Icelandic sheep's dual-coated fleece. The yarn is not plied, but more like a roving with a slight twist - creating an airier, warmer knit.

Our beige lopi-style yarn comes from our ewe Spola and lamb Prim - creating what we are calling Fjölskylda, or family-style yarn. Caramel, white, and grey gives the yarn depth. This yarn takes advantage of the strength of the ewe's tog (outercoat) and eliminates some of the pickiness with the softness of the lambswool. Compare our lopi-style with commercial brands!
