plotulopi

Plotulopi is an unspun yarn, therefore when knitting it is very fragile. However, due to its fiber lenghts, in the knitted garment it becomes sturdy and soft.

Attention!!! Due to the colour differences in various dye lots, therefore in the drop down menu shade numbers are shown together with the numbers of dye lots.

Hand wash only in lukewarm water (30°C / 86°F). Soak the garment in the suds for about 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Do not rub or wring but gently squeeze the liquid through the garment. If necessary, spin for 2-4 minutes to remove excess moisture. Dry flat, smooth the garment out and pull gently into shape.

Unique in its composition, Icelandic wool consists of two types of fibres: inner fibres are fine, soft, highly insulating and outer fibres are long, glossy, water-repellent.

Together, these two distinctive fibres create a wool that is: lightweight - lighter than most other wools, keeps you warm and comfortable; water-repellent - repels rain and stays feeling dry; breathable - moisture passes through the fibres away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.

ISTEX produces garments that are comfortable to wear indoors or outdoors.
