Together with Jöklalopi, Alafosslopi Plötulopi and Binding, Lettlopi forms the family of Lopi yarns made from pure Icelandic wool.
The Icelandic sheep (Ovis aries borealis) have adapted to the climatic peculiarities of the far north in the well over 1000 years that they have been settled on Iceland and therefore wear wool that is unique in its properties. Lopi is the name for the combination of the soft and warming undercoat of the sheep and the long and water-repellent hair of the overcoat. Combining these properties in one thread makes it possible to knit sweaters and jackets that are comfortable to wear and also protect us from cold and moisture.
With beautiful colors and patterns, garments made from Icelandic wool delight all the senses. The fine knitting wool can be used to knit delicate shawls and items of clothing for spring and summer, with Plötulopi and Lettlopi sweaters for indoors and outdoors, with the thick Alafosslopi and Jöklalopi super warm sweaters and jackets that insulate from the cold even in winter. Or how about a blanket to keep us warm on the balcony or terrace on cool evenings?
Icelandic sweaters are timeless items of clothing for young and old and are becoming increasingly popular among fashion-conscious young people thanks to the combination of the idea of sustainability with trendy colors, shapes and patterns. Icelandic wool is a natural product that is affordable for everyone and allows everyone to make beautiful and practical clothing and accessories at a reasonable price.
There are approximately 400,000 to 500,000 sheep in Iceland. The sheep farms are run by families who own between 200 and 300 sheep and are organized in a cooperative. This means that many shepherds still know their animals by name. In the mild summer, the sheep roam freely through the wilderness of Iceland, while in the arctic winter they find shelter with the shepherds.
On the one hand, due to the cold climate in Iceland, there are hardly any vermin that have to be destroyed with pesticides, and on the other hand, the standards for animal welfare in Iceland, especially for sheep, are very high and the controls on them are extremely strict. Therefore, sheep are extremely rarely given antibiotics, hormones or similar chemical agents and treatments. The use of pesticides and herbicides is very limited in sheep farming, so Icelandic wool is a very pure, ecologically high-quality product. Sheep are not dehorned and are mulesing-free. After warping, the sheep remain in the shelter of a shelter until they wear the first warm wool again. For more information about animal welfare in Iceland, please visit MAST, the website of the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority. Due to significantly lower levels of pollutants in the Icelandic air, Icelandic wool is also significantly cleaner than many other European wools.
