The yarn
The lace-weight lopi
Einband is a fine single-ply lace and fingering yarn spun from 100% Icelandic wool. It is the shawl and lace knitter's lopi — and a quiet workhorse: two strands together knit like Léttlopi, and a single strand plied with Plötulopi adds strength. The wool softens beautifully after its first wash.
