    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!
