This very special yarn comes from Glenda’s small Icelandic flock at South Muirnich to the south of Loch Ness. It has been beautifully Lopi spun by The Border Mill and knits similarly to Istex Lettlopi………but is more soft the Lettlopi due to the quality of the fleeces from Glenda’s very charismatic flock!

- Black Isle Yarns Icelandic Lopi is processed by The Border Mill. The wool comes from real animals who enjoy an outdoor life (in beautiful surroundings, lucky beasts!) – consequently you may find the odd bit of vegetation in your yarn, these are easy to remove as you knit and, if you’re lucky enough to find some, I hope will remind you of the special animals who have grown your yarn!
- I do my best to show the yarn colours as accurately as possible but please be aware that colours do vary from monitor to monitor.
- Your yarn should be gently hand washed in cool water using pH neutral wool wash such as Eucalan or Soak. This may seem time consuming at first but should soon become an enjoyable part of working with a gently treated natural product.
- All my dyed colours have been thoroughly washed and rinsed however there may be a slight release of residual colour on washing – this shouldn’t change the overall yarn colour or alter other colours.
