Pl%F6tulopi
Pl%F6tulopi is unspun wool (pencil fleece) and is traditionally used to make authentic Icelandic Lopi sweaters. It is fragile and must be handled with care.
Pl%F6tulopi is usually knitted with two or three strands, making the garments exceptionally light and airy. Thanks to the unique properties of Icelandic wool, Pl%F6tulopi is surprisingly durable once knitted.
Carefully wind the required number of skeins of Plútulopi together or knit directly from the skeins.
A single skein of Plútulopi is very delicate. It can be reinforced by lightly twisting it or by knitting it together with a strand of Einband. Plútulopi is ideal for felting, hand-spinning, and many other uses
