Hi Diane, I haven’t washed my Portillo Cowl yet, but you are motivating me to get that done. Brunswick reminds me quite a bit of Lopi–it has that authentic sheep-y character, plus the mohair halo as others have mentioned. Lopi always surprises me with how much softer it is after was...

I’ll tag along on this thread! I’ve got a Riddari to make for my hubby out of Lett Lopi - that’s on my winter knitting list after the holidays. Lopi-riffic!

I’ve done two jumpers in alafoss lopi - one 25 years ago - going strong. Also a poncho in Lett Lopi. They are not tightly spun yarns but the long Icelandic sheep hair holds the fluffier p...

...ng I ever knitted, sometime around 1994, was a purple scarf that was both perfectly scratchy and far too short. I’m pretty sure it was made from Lett Lopi. It felted quite efficiently over my 2 mile walking commutes during its first Seattle winter, so I cut and sewed it into a rectangular hot water bott...

...anyone have any hints on figuring out reliable gauge on “lightly stretched” ribbing? No. 2 & .3 are sweaters for me and the spouse (Carbeth & Missing Lopi): image y Color is way off in this pic – imagine gray and tan. No. 4 are Mīlēt mittens: image

You can so bang this out Karen!! My Main Squeeze is in Lopi too, Àlafosslopi in light gray tweed. Btw, Nell did say something about those 8/6 stitches, should be 6 :wink: And yes, pls DO wear a crash helmet😆

...ure what I’d call that, but you know what I mean.) Options: Leave it as is, and do the second arm the same for consistency. It’s really bulky alafoss lopi, and you won’t be able to see it when it’s worn. Hey, I could call it a feature of the pattern! Pretty sure the wearer won’t notice, if I don’t tell...

Hi. I received Lopi from https://thewoollythistle.com/ from my fibreshare partner last round. Maybe they can help.

...know there’s a “Bang Out a Carbeth” KAL! There are so many choices on where to start with Carbeth. Decisions, decisions… In the stash is Quarry, the Lopi (from a Stopover never made) :blush: When I read the snippets email this morning and saw Shibui Dune in the mix, it was kismet. I have a Dune stash!...

...were received with appreciation and recognition of the love the Knits embodied. -akwenstrup I only had one gift knit this year, but one was enough. A Lopi sweater for my sweetheart. image

I’m amazed that you were able to sew the bind off with Lopi! Post a picture, please. You might be able to undo the bind off and decrease there - go in 3 stitches, then out and off 2 a few times around.

Finally saw this thread! I was banging out a Stopover in Maui in December. And playing with MDK Euroflax minis when it was too warm to knit with Lopi.

I also knitted a Stopover; had to soak it twice. I used some hair conditioner in the second soak. It softened the lopi a bit. I always year my Stopover over a long sleeved t-shirt or turtleneck. Hope this helps!
