Crafted from 100% Icelandic wool, Lopi produces premium yarns for warm nordic knits. Thanks to over 1,000 years of adapting to the sub-arctic climate, Icelandic sheep have developed a unique weather resistant wool with excellent breathability and thermal insulation, making it the original outwear. Combining soft, insulating inner fibers with long, durable, and weather-resistant outer fibers, Lopi's yarns are both warm and long-lasting.

Single-ply Love Story is spun from fleeces that Hélène hand-selects and grades one by one after the first shearing of the Icelandic lambs. The carefully-crafted result is an Icelandic lambswool yarn of unparalleled softness and fineness.

Love Story is especially suited for delicate, ethereal lace shawls and is reminiscent of the old handspun yarns that define traditional Icelandic lace. Alternatively, hold Love Story along with unspun Plutolopi for a classical Icelandic lopi sweater.
