Icelandic wool has outstanding breathability and thermal insulation. Over 1,100 years in the sub-arctic climate and isolation has given the Icelandic wool a distinctive character.
The wool is dual-coated with a combination of inner and outer fibers. The inner fibers are fine, soft and highly insulating. The outer fibers are long, strong and weather resistant. When they are processed together they create a high-quality wool that is lightweight, water-repellent and highly breathable, creating the exclusive Lopi yarns.
The Icelandic wool keeps you warm and cozy while allowing moisture to pass through the fibers away from the skin.
