Overview
What's in the kit
Dawn was the inspiration for Uppstytta: it’s morning and the fog lingers by the sea while rays of light try to break through. A boat neckline, swingy back and wide sleeves with gathered cuffs give this Léttlopi lopapeysa a modern silhouette — here in a sea-inspired turquoise palette of glacier blue, lagoon, bottle green, galaxy and black.
Included
- Icelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered

Why you'll love it
- Dawn by the seaVédís Jónsdóttir took dawn as her inspiration: morning fog lingering by the sea while rays of light try to break through.
- A back with swingThe back is cast on wider than the front and lengthened with short rows at the lower edge, then decreased to the front’s width below the yoke.
- Wide sleeves, gathered cuffsEach sleeve starts with 8 cm of twisted rib, then 24 stitches are added at once, so the wide sleeve gathers softly into the cuff.
- A wider necklineThe pattern sets the boat neckline wider than on classic sweaters, finished with a narrow twisted-rib band in lagoon.
- Sea colours, or your ownGlacier blue with a yoke of lagoon, bottle green, galaxy and black. Swap any of them for another Léttlopi shade at no charge in the colour picker.

I am in love with the colours in this kit! I'm on my second ball of Turquoise and can't wait to move on to the rest of the colours. I'm especially looking forward to the stranded knitting section to see how the yarn behaves compared with others I have used.
I had been eyeing this sweater kit for about a year but hesitated to purchase due to lack of confidence in my knitting skills. In a ‘if not now, when?’ moment I placed my order and could not be more impressed with the ease and quality of service which made for a stress-free, pleasant transaction - all before opening the box! The skeins are arranged by color, the colors are absolutely beautiful, the supply seems ample. Zero issues with the digital pattern download, and pattern is clearly written but the color chart is a bit tricky as the colors blend into each other.
This kit came unbelievably fast! The turquoise is the color of the Blue Lagoon. The black like the black sand beach. So it recaps my trip to Iceland.
I ordered Monday and it arrived Thursday. Amazing!
I love the colours and can't wait to start knitting.
Absolutely stunning kit. Ordered from the UK and it arrived quickly and well packaged. The wool is absolutely beautiful and the pattern is simple to follow. My only (very minor) gripe is that the pattern chart is very faded and the colours aren’t showing well. This makes it a little harder to follow, but I would definitely still give this product and shop 5 stars!
I started knitting straight away, so excited to see the end result
Great product, good price, promptly sent
שלום רב,
אשמח לרכוש ערכה לסוודר טורקיז upstytta במידה ויתאפשר כולל הוראות סריגה תודה
Very friendly communication, fast delivery and very good quality.
I stumbled upon your store on Instagram and I can say I’m so glad I did! The selection and prices points are outstanding, as is the shipping time. I will continue to shop with you online!
The wool is lovely and has a good color. Well packaged and shipped quickly. Good tracking information as well. Although I have made many sweaters on circular needles, I found some of the directions with the kit confusing. It is knitting up well and evenly. Very attractive, I’ll definitely order from here again have recommended you to my friends.
Products are spectacular. Purchase process is easy and items arrive quickly. I’ll definitely buy again!
These are really wonderful yarns and beautiful subtle colours. I've been knitting, or crocheting, smaller items through the pandemic but am glad I decided to go with a bigger one to top off the lockdown experience (I hope). Very satisfying to work with. The challenge of the pattern lies ahead, but I'm very much looking to it.
The order arrived in less time than estimated. The service was exceptional. I have not started knitting yet, but previous experience with Lettlopi Yarn and patterns has been excellent. Thank you.
The colors and texture are lovely!
