Overview
What's in the kit
Loki is a classic Icelandic lopapeysa from the old Álafoss archive, redesigned by Védís Jónsdóttir for Léttlopi: deep rough-sea blue with a bold yoke in black and ash heather, and a tall folded rib collar with a drawstring — a twisted cord in blue and black threads through the neck so you can pull it snug against the wind. Body and sleeves are worked in the round, then joined for the yoke, and short rows shape the neckline for a good fit.
Included
- Icelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
