Burkni (Male Fern) (Grey Base)

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 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 male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas), a popular plant in Icelandic gardens that dates back to prehistoric times. Its beautifully shaped leaves attract attention, and unlike flowering plants, it reproduces through spores.

This colour is dyed on a natural grey base (sheep colour), allowing the original tone of the wool to subtly show through. This adds depth and texture, making each skein unique while highlighting the natural character of Icelandic wool.
