First Steek!! Had my first venture into the world of steeking an Icelandic sweater and chose this yarn to do so. It’s sticky, easy to spit join when needed and has beautiful deep colors. Highly recommend!
Let us handle the hard part.

I was so happy to find this wool again! Over the years I’ve made about 20 Lopi sweaters for my children and grandchildren. I was finding it difficult to acquire a variety of colors. Thank you!
