Collection: Ístex – Icelandic yarns and patterns

Ístex is the Icelandic manufacturer behind the Lopi yarns. The company buys wool directly from Icelandic sheep farmers and processes about 99 percent of all wool produced in Iceland. Icelandic wool is appreciated for its low weight, warmth, and natural ability to resist moisture.

At Fru Olesen Garn, you will find Léttlopi, Álafosslopi, Plötulopi, Fjallalopi, and Kambgarn. The yarns have different thicknesses and textures and are suitable for everything from light garments and accessories to classic Icelandic sweaters and heavier outdoor clothing.

Here you will also find digital patterns and pattern booklets from Ístex. The assortment includes Icelandic sweaters and cardigans for both children and adults, with traditional patterns and modern Icelandic design.
