- Avoid Agitation: Gently swish the sweater in the water without rubbing or twisting it, as wool is susceptible to damage when wet.

- Drying: Press out excess water without wringing, and lay the sweater flat on a towel to air dry. Avoid hanging or exposing it to direct heat or sunlight.

Hand-knitted lopapeysa · 3-ply Plötulopi · Dark grey heather with a black, white and grey yoke
Máni is the moon in Norse mythology, chased across the sky by a wolf. His sweater is for men who want their lopapeysa in greys: no colour, just a strong zigzag yoke on a dark body, in the thickest knit we make.
Hand-knitted in Iceland
One sweater, one pair of hands
Every lopapeysa we sell is knitted by hand in Iceland from Icelandic wool, by knitters who have made hundreds of them. It takes days, not minutes — and it shows in the yoke.
Why you'll love it
- Named after the moonIn Norse mythology Máni is the moon itself, brother of the sun Sól and son of Mundilfari, who drives across the sky pursued by the wolf Hati. The word still means moon in Icelandic.
- Twelve years in the wantingOne wife bought Máni as a present for her husband, who had wanted an Icelandic sweater since their first visit to Iceland twelve years earlier; another owner says his three daughters chose it for him and the fit is exactly right.
- Four shades from one colour cardDark Grey Heather, Black, White and Grey are all shades from Ístex's Plötulopi card, so the next Máni is knitted in the same four colours as this one.
- 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. Máni meets each point.
- Ready-made and sold from stockEach Máni is knitted and finished before it is listed. Order on a weekday before 14:00 UTC and we dispatch it the same day.
