    The Strokkur pattern is included in the kit, and can also be ordered separately if you prefer to substitute yarn.
    About the yarn
    Léttlopi is spun in Iceland from 100% Icelandic wool, a primitive sheep breed with an unusual double layered fleece. The fluffy inner layer traps warmth while the coarser outer fibres keep out the wind and rain – your Strokkur will keep you as warm and cosy as the Icelandic hill sheep!
    Looking for another colour? More are available by ordering the yarn instead of a kit.
