Which size should I choose?

Lay a sweater that already fits you well flat and measure straight across the chest just under the arms, then match that number to the chest width column in the size table. The table gives the width laid flat, so double it for the full chest: size M is 53 cm flat, 106 cm around. We cannot alter a sweater, so pick the nearest size.

Is it warm enough for a real winter?

Yes. Three strands of Plötulopi knitted together make this the thickest knit we sell. Ístex, the mill that makes the wool, describes Icelandic wool as lightweight, water-repellent and highly breathable, with fine inner fibres that insulate and long outer fibres that resist the weather.

How does it feel to wear?

Thick, dense and warm, with the dry, springy feel of Icelandic wool, and a tall ribbed collar that keeps the wind off your neck. A lopapeysa is worn over a shirt or a long-sleeved top, the way Icelanders wear theirs, and worn that way it is comfortable all day.

By hand, in lukewarm water, with a mild wool soap such as Lopisápa. Swish it gently without rubbing or twisting, rinse in lukewarm water, press the water out without wringing, and lay it flat on a towel to dry, away from heat and sun. Store it folded in a cool, dry place, not in a plastic bag.

Can I exchange it if the size is wrong?

Yes. An unworn sweater in its original condition can be exchanged for another size under our return policy, linked at the foot of every page. Return postage is yours to pay unless the sweater is faulty or the mistake is ours.

Why you'll love it

A name from the oldest storiesFrigg is the wife of Odin in Norse mythology, the goddess the old sources link to marriage, prophecy and motherhood.
Four shades from one colour cardWhite, dark grey heather, grey and light ash heather are all standard shades on Ístex's Plötulopi colour card, so the next Frigg is knitted in the same four colours as this one.
A fleece in two layersÍstex, the mill that makes the wool, describes Icelandic wool as two kinds of fibre: fine, soft inner fibres that insulate, and long, strong outer fibres that resist the weather. Together they make a wool that is lightweight, water-repellent and breathable.
Allowed to be called an Icelandic lopapeysaThe name has been protected in Iceland since 2020. It may only be used for a sweater hand-knitted in Iceland, in the round and without seams, from new Icelandic lopi wool, with a patterned round yoke. Frigg meets each point.
Ready-made and sold from stockEach Frigg is knitted and finished before it is listed. Order on a weekday before 14:00 UTC and we dispatch it the same day.
