Lopi Plotulopi - 100g

This yarn is very unique, and there aren’t too many UK stockists of it! It’s the same beautiful wool as the Álafosslopi or Léttlopi, but is unspun, and a lot less dense, making for a wonderfully light and airy fabric. Every colourway is a lovely blend of more-than-one colour wool fibre, creating a marvellous depth within the overall colour. The Plötulopi is an excellent high-milage yarn, there’s 300m per 100g plate. Originally sold for knitters to spin themselves, these yarns could be combined with as many ends as they liked to change the thickness of the yarn.

Due to the unspun nature of this yarn, you need to be a bit careful when working with it, so it probably isn’t the best ‘throw it in your bag and knit on the train’ yarn. This being said, the finished knitting is strong and robust and just as warm as other Icelandic wools.

There is usually one additional plate of yarn on top of the inventory listed here as a display yarn in the Real Life Shop. If you'd like one additional yarn, please send us an email so we can send you an invoice for that last plate. Please note that the display plate may be a different lot to the one you've ordered, and maybe slightly discoloured on the outermost layer of yarn due to sun fading. 

These yarn plates are individually wrapped in recyclable plastic for protection for the delicate fibres, but please feel free to reply to your order confirmation email if you would like me to unwrap and recycle the plastic before it gets sent out to you. If I do not hear anything, I’ll assume you’re happy with the plastic wrap.

Please note: colours may appear different on the screen to real life due to device screen preferences.
