Introducing Laramie Lopi- the Taste of the Wind Flock’s very first dark-colored batch of yarn!
Born, grazed, sheared, and spun locally.
Snag your 100 yard hanks of Worsted/Aran weight dark-colored yarn before they are gone!
This yarn is all-natural, un-dyed, 100% Icelandic wool from my flock of Icelandic sheep born and raised in Laramie Wyoming.
Lopi, is a traditional yarn very specific to the Icelandic breed of sheep. Because Icelandic sheep yield such long fibers, this yarn can be spun single-ply. rather than having multiple strands of yarn plied together like most shorter-fibered and finer yarns have. Lopi is a single, thick strand of yarn spun loosely into a lofty, fluffy, shiny, soft, and strong strand that (when crafted into garments) makes a durable, extremely warm, and wind-resistant garment that is a joy to wear.
I can’t wait for you to touch this yarn! It is incredibly soft and lustrous and knits up like fluffy clouds to create a wind resistant layer of lovely wool that I would argue is next-to-skin soft! This lopi is nothing like the commercial lopi most yarn enthusiasts are familiar with.
This yarn was spun in Stromsburg Nebraska, at the Fiber Mill wool mill.
