Coarse and warm Icelandic wool yarn for winter knitting

Álafosslopi is a thick and natural Icelandic wool yarn, especially used in traditional embroidery and winter clothing. Its coarse surface and strong structure make it a durable and timeless choice.

The yarn is used to knit warm, yet breathable garments that are well suited to cold conditions. In Iceland, knitwear made from it is a traditional outerwear item, and is known for its durability and long-lasting use.

Thanks to its thick structure, the work progresses quickly, and the end result is a striking and practical knit that will remain in good condition year after year.

Alafosslopi is easy to knit. Works especially well as an outdoor sweater. I knitted the Kauni model with a slight modification. A good size so that a windproof one can fit underneath.
