Care instructions:
Hand wash. Do not use fabric softener! Airing is usually sufficient for wool garments. If necessary, hand wash in lukewarm water (30°C). Soak the knitwear for approx. 10 min and then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Gently squeeze out most of the water from the garment. Gently shape the knitwear to its dimensions and dry flat, do not hang.
Léttlopi yarn is half the strength of Álafosslop and is therefore more suitable for indoor use. The yarn is coarse, but softens slightly with use. Icelandic wool is spun from two different fibers: a soft and shorter lower pile and a longer and thicker upper pile. Istex buys the wool directly from Icelandic lampreys. <3
This unique combination creates a yarn that is both warm and breathable. The finished knits are light and incredible outdoor knits. If you want a beautiful garment that can withstand the Nordic cold, Léttlopi is your yarn. Plus, there are plenty of beautiful colors to choose from.
