The LOPI yarn comes from a unique breed of sheep from Iceland. The special Icelandic Wool is very resistant to extreme weather conditions and yet soft and comfortable. This is due to a special characteristic of the wool of the Icelandic sheep. It consists of two types of hair: the inner hair is very soft and insulates cold, the outer hair is longer, firmer and water-repellent. Without the Icelandic sheep, Iceland would not have been habitable for the Vikings thousands of years ago. The sheep breed is unique in the world and its wool is designed for the Nordic climate.

Lettlopi is more for lighter sweaters, that are worn inside. The wool is also perfect for sping or fall clothes. With the different yarn strengths, it is not only possible to knit thick Icelandic sweaters with Icelandic wool, but also thinner garments and even light cloths. The LOPI yarn is a natural raw material, which on the one hand offers high quality and on the other hand is environmentally friendly. In the processing of the wool there are sources like geothermal energy and hydroelectric power used.
