Icelandic Ístex Álafosslopi is a coarse and earthy yarn. For lovers of Icelandic knitting, or playfully, Íssik knitting, this is the perfect yarn to create stunning and eye-catching patterned knits. Icelandic wool is breathable, moisture-wicking and warm - you can wear a sweater knitted with this yarn while skiing or outdoors, almost like a jacket. Álafosslopi is a thicker version of the popular Lettlopi yarn.
Come to Sunday Knitting Club to admire the knitwear knitted by Alafosslop, the most impressive of which is certainly Ars Tres/The Year of the Tree, from the book Icelandic Knits.
