Yarn: Istex Léttlopi
Benefits: Traditionally used for Lopapeysa, or Icelandic colorwork sweaters, these 100% Icelandic wool yarn balls come in a vast array of heathered colors. The sheep bred for lopi grow a double coat - a durable outer layer and a soft and lofty inner fiber layer - and both are used to spin a yarn that benefits from all their qualities. Since these come already wound into balls, all you need to do is pick a project and get your needles/hooks ready!
