Plötulopi – the divinely delicate, unspun Icelandic wool that’s as fragile as it is fabulous! This pencil roving might seem a little temperamental at first, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get the hang of handling it gently, it’ll work wonders, especially for those iconic Lopi sweaters.
Most folks double or even triple up on the strands, resulting in garments so light and airy they practically float. And here’s the kicker: despite its delicate nature, once it’s knitted up, Plötulopi becomes surprisingly tough – all thanks to the magic of Icelandic wool.
You can either wind up a few strands yourself or go rogue and knit straight from the plates. Just remember, a single strand might be a bit fragile, but you can beef it up by twisting it or pairing it with a trusty strand of Einband. Oh, and it’s not just for sweaters – Plötulopi is perfect for felting, hand spinning, and all sorts of crafty goodness.
Material: 100% new wool Plate: 100 g ~ 300 m Suggested needle sizes: Depends on how many strands are used Gauge 10×10 cm: Depends on needle size Gauge 10×10 cm 2-ply 14 stitches x 19 rows, needles 5½
