Beautiful yarn. Great color assortment and true to photos. Nicely packaged and efficient shipping.
Love the Lettlopi yarn! I make a lot more with the Alafoss Lopi, but have started making a sweater with the Lettlopi. Very nice to work with! Shipping was fast and packaging very nice. I am very pleased with everything I have purchased from the Icelandic Store. The staff are very helpful and will answer any questions quickly via email. Can't wait to share the picture of my finished sweater!
The yarn has arrived and it is lovely. A great feel to the hand. Thank you.
This yarn is lovely; however, it is not as white as the photo. It is slightly off-white, but will be fine for my project.
Great yarn at a fair price.
Excellent customer service, wool received promptly, clear instructions sent as to delivery. Looking forward to knitting the sweater with such lovely wool
Love this wool

one of a range of colours I ordered to knit a very cool looking sweater. Beautifully packed and thanks for the Easter egg gift!
The shipping was super fast from Iceland to Netherlands only took 1 day, the store also prepare the order was fast for over 40 yarns i ordered, I am satisficed with this shopping experience with this store.
I love the look and the feel of the yarn - BUT the white balls smell dreadful - I washed the garment after I completed it and I sprayed it with fabric freshener 5 times - it is just about tolerable now - all the other yarn was great but the white well I have never smelt anything like it - have you any suggestions as to why the white is like this and how I can remove it??
Yarn is beautiful. Service is great! Shipping was speedy and inexpensive, given it was international. Price was lower than US sources, so that helped make up for the minimal shipping costs. The Icelandic Store will definitely be my go-to store for Lopi yarn!
Great seller, lovely choice of wool, extremely fast delivery. Thank you 😀
I received order in a timely manner. This is my first time using Lettlopi yarn and ordering from The Icelandic Store. I will order again in the future. Thank you also for the unexpected treat added to my package.
Only source with ANY knitting wool available!
Excellent service—reasonable shipping with flat rate DHL
Extremely happy with product and service!
The order came today and I love the yarn and colors, waiting to start my sweater.
Gorgeous wool. Crocheting up beautifully. Fantastic quick service - delivered sooner than wool from UK! Can’t wait to finish this project (it’ll be a while!) so I can order more for my next one!! Thank you - definitely order again!
I’ve ordered wool from the Icelandic Store 3 times now. Every order has been easy to make and pay. The package arrived as promised and passed the customs with no trouble as the contents of the package and the price of the purchase was clearly marked on the package.
Easy to knit, comfortable in your hand, beautiful result
Loved it...made a beautiful sweater!!
I searched a variety of online stores for this Lopi. Beyond the great price I was especially pleased to purchase it from the Icelandic Store, which cares so much about Icelandic knitting history and skills, established and new I live in Washington DC and this arrived in a very reasonable amount of time and in perfect condition.
