Plötulopi
Plötulopi is unspun wool (pencil fleece) and is traditionally used to make authentic Icelandic Lopi sweaters. It is fragile and must be handled with care.
Plötulopi 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 Plötulopi together or knit directly from the skeins.
A single skein of Plötulopi is very delicate. It can be reinforced by lightly twisting it or by knitting it together with a skein of Einband. Plötulopi is ideal for felting, hand-spinning, and many other uses
