I'm using it for making an Icelandic sweater. I'm knitting it held together with a thin lace weight yarn, as directed by Helene Magnusson pattern. The blue color is very pretty with a blend of different tones. The unspun yarn is fragile, and this technique gives support.
Very scratchy and breakable yarn. Not suitable for any garment.
Very scratchy and low quality
this yarn is a pleasure to work with.I have made several sweaters .I would recommend that you use a magnetic yarn holder so you have less breakage.This yarn is fragile and breaks easy . You can splice it together and don't have to weave in where you start a new plate.It is warm but light in weight.
Many are intimidated by knitting with Plotulopi, as it is an unspun pencil roving (especially if one is a tight knitter), but the results are worth it. Lightweight but warm! Another option is to carry Plotulopi with another lace weight yarn like mohair/silk yarn. Holding these two strands together makes knitting with Plotulopi so much easier, softer and stronger. It also can influence the color in a beneficial way.

I knit with very loose tension so had zero problems with my first time using unspun wool. Haven’t quite fished the sweater yet, so don’t know if it will be fragile to wear, but I love the feel and light weight.
Lightweight and easy to knit. I'm using a carry-along strand of Einband.
The yarn is so light, fluffy and warm. Easier to work with than I expected. PS my cat loves to snuggle with it :)
Since this yarn has no twist, it was very hard to use.
