Léttlopi is a highly versatile yarn. It is equivalent in thickness to half a Álafosslopi. Léttlopi garments are lovely to wear both indoors and outdoors. In worsted to Aran weight, the color range and the pattern support make you want to go right out and start crocheting or knitting traditional designs because of the timeless nature of the finished products.

I have trouble finding the yarn I want in Houston. But I have a new favorite place to order from…Michigan Fine Yarns. The order process was super easy, good stock on the yarns I was looking at, notified every step of the way and order received quickly! I will be ordering again!

Very fast shipping is always pleasing. Now, the yarn!! When i first rested my eyes upon it i thought it such an unusual color for Lopi and was immediately drawn to it. I was looking for the perfect project to use this yarn and was thinking a simple Felix, but then saw the Sheep Camp Sweater and had matching scraps that matched perfectly with this colorway -Galaxy. I love that it is black, but has random flecks of blues, pinks, purples and yellow. Lopi is rustic and pure from the icelandic sheep. I have always loved it, i'm a true fan! Many do not like the itch factor. With proper tshirts, or long underwear I've had no problem.

When I lived in Michigan I shopped at Michigan Fine Yarns often. The owner is very helpful in helping you find the right yarn for your project. Now I live in Vancouver, but continue to shop at this store because the yarn selection is amazing!

I was losing at yarn chicken and Michigan Fine Yarns was the only place I could find that had anything close to a matching color. I was even more pleased to find, just by luck, they sent me 2 skeins that matched my dye lot exactly!
The chicken will have to wait for another time!!

Very helpful service. I made a mistake ordering the wrong yarn color online. The store handled the change by phone and shipped the correct yarn promptly.

Perfect color match to what I bought at the airport in Iceland. The project ended up bigger than I expected, so I'm happy to have been able to fond more yarn!

My first time ordering from MFY, they were super fast.
First time knitting with Lettlopi yarn. Will definitely use it again, it’s 100% wool, but doesn’t feel scratchy.
I am very happy with the yarn and MFY, and will be ordering again sometime.
Jo Anne W.
Very thrilled you had the color way that was out of stock locally.

At first I really worried this yarn would be too scratchy, but after blocking it blooms and softens up considerably. It is dense and very, very warm, especially when knitted in colorwork.
Kaelie T.
The online store is well organized and customer service is helpful.
Regarding the yarn:
I purchased Lettlopi for the Anemone Sweater as recommended in the pattern. Working with Lettlopi has been a challenge. The yarn has a scratchy texture which makes my normal tensioning around the pinky finger impossible. While doing colorwork, the strands catch on everything and have to be wrangled in separate baskets. The texture actually scratched up the sides of my fingers while I knitted.
However! When I blocked the yarn, it became soft and pliable. It’s still a rustic yarn, but it is so much nicer after being blocked. It bloomed and all the stitches evened out. The yarn is very warm, probably the warmest yarn I’ve ever used! I would recommend it for projects that won’t bother you if they’re a little scratchy.

Enjoyed your delivery and follow up.
All turned out well!
Thank you

I cannot believe how fast my order arrived. I ordered from several companies on the same day/weekend and your shipment arrived almost immediately! Everything was in the order and I was knitting that same day. Thank you so much for making your order process easy as well as easy to track the order to the speedy delivery. When I get through all of the yarn I recently purchased I will be looking to see what other yarns you have.
