Plötulopi is mostly knitted using two or three strands, resulting in garments that are exceptionally light and airy. Plötulopi is surprisingly strong once knitted thanks to the unique characteristics of Icelandic wool.

Gently wind the required number of strands of Plötulopi together or knit straight from the plates.

A single strand of Plötulopi is very delicate. It can be strengthened by twisting it lightly or by knitting it with one strand of Einband or any lace weight yarn. Plötulopi is great for felting, hand spinning and many other things.

Bourette silk is cruelty free! Silk yarn is made with the silk threads that come from silk worm cocoons. An intact silk worm cocoon is made of one single very long thread. In conventional silk production the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silk worms to die. Bourette silk, on the other hand, is made from the silk threads of naturally vacated cocoons – ones from which the silk worms have completed their natural metamorphosis into moths. During this incredible process, the cocoon breaks apart leaving the silk thread in pieces. These short silk fibers are painstakingly collected and spun into yarn. Creating bourette silk is a very time consuming process resulting in a more rustic, but no less luxurious strand of yarn.

Owner and primary dyer, Jean, doesn't hold back on playing around with colors. Her unique colorways range from tonal neons, earthy variegated, and thrilling speckles! And in a nod to the rockers of the 80s and 90s, they are named after her favorite songs. It's a Gen X trip down Memory Lane!

Juni + Si, pronounced Ju-Knee and Sigh, is named after the owner's grandchildren Juniper and Silas. Dyed out of Snoqualmie, Washington, Jean wants to acknowledge and honor the native people who have heavily contributed to the art of dyeing. 

As with all hand-dyed yarns, Juni + Si are dyed in small lots. Color, tonality and speckle amounts may vary from skein to skein, lot to lot, and monitor to monitor.
