I am making my husband an Icelandic style cardigan, using a pattern by Rebekka Kristjánsdóttir. I really like this yarn. A bit rustic and prickly, although I think a good bath of Eucalan and hair conditioner will help. However, it's meant for an outer layer so should not be a problem. Knits up really quickly, being a bulky yarn, also I'm having more luck with colorwork in this yarn than with worsted or DK because it's so fat and hairy--easier to carry the floats without puckering. I have finished steeking and am on the button band (so the sweater in the photo isn't quite finished). I have so much yarn in my closet that I don't really need any more (she says), but I am fantasizing about an Álafosslopi sweater for me! I certainly recommend this yarn for the right project.

Wonderful sturdy wool. Great for felting/fullering!

It’s pretty much the same as the old Reynolds Lopi that I knit with in the 80s. Great stuff! Great Icelandic sweaters!

It’s Icelandic Lopi. It’s the same as it was 40 years ago when I first used it. It’s like Cascade 220 or Lamb’s Pride or Spindrift. It belongs on the periodic table of yarn elements. AND the best news? It had t been ensh!t!fied. Yet.
