We dye our yarn in small batches in South Iceland and offer Icelandic wool yarn, complete knitting kits with yarn and patterns, and beginner-friendly knitting kits for your first projects.
Icelandic wool is unique because it has two natural layers: soft inner fibres that provide warmth and insulation, and longer outer fibres that make the yarn durable and naturally water-resistant. These qualities make lopi yarn warm, lightweight and perfect for knitting garments that last for many years.
Whether you are an experienced knitter or just beginning your first project, you will find something warm, natural and handmade at Hörpugull.
