Bláfífill (Alpine Blue Sow Thistle)

Material: 100% Icelandic wool
Meters and weight: 170m/50g per skein
Knitting size: 3 - 5 mm.

Each doll contains a simple Þingborgarlopi made from specially selected first-class lambswool. To achieve bright and shiny colors, the white lopi is hand-dyed with acetic acid dyeing, which makes each doll unique and different from the next - depending on how saturated the color is.

The name of this colour is inspired by alpine blue sow thistle (Cicerbita alpina), a tall perennial with blue flowers on long stems. It tolerates partial shade and readily self-seeds in garden beds.
