Instead of being spun into a tight thread, the fibres are lightly carded, creating a yarn that is light, airy and exceptionally warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy is Icelandic wool so warm?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIcelandic wool has a unique dual fibre structure. The soft inner fibres (þel) provide insulation, while the outer fibres (tog) are strong and naturally water-repellent. Together they create a yarn that is warm, breathable and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre the colours exactly the same as shown in the pictures?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, so no two skeins are completely identical.
