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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI can’t wait for you to touch this yarn!
