Overview
What's in the kit
Útjörð is knitted holding two strands of unspun Plötulopi together, and its magic is in the colour changes: earthy moss shades blend gradually into one another up the body and sleeves, finishing in a patterned yoke. Vary how you carry the two strands and the colours shift like the Icelandic highlands themselves.

- Icelandic Plötulopi wool (unspun plates, knitted 2-ply) — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
