Lopi Yarn is Icelandic wool famous and loved for its insulating warmth and water repellant qualities. We're happy to add Álafoss to our selection, which is a bulky weight yarn with endless possibilities. The perfect choice for warm, heavy-weight garments that breathe, Alafoss is a classic choice for knitting authentic "lopapeysa" sweaters.
Use this yarn to hand knit durable, warm outerwear or blankets and stay cozy throughout the winter season. Alafoss is easy to knit and super strong, so it will last for decades with proper care.

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!
