Care Instructions:
Wool products do not need to be washed much, but the best care instructions for them are to air them.

You can wrap the knitwear in a towel, for example. and squeeze out the excess water. It is recommended to dry the knitwear flat.
Álafosslopi is an Icelandic wool yarn that is used to make those famous authentic Icelandic yoke shirts. The yarn is also very suitable for felting. The yarn is coarse, but softens somewhat with use. The wool is extremely warm and water-repellent, so you stay warm and dry even in a light drizzle.
Icelandic wool is spun from two different fibers - a soft, shorter undercoat and a longer, coarser outer coat. This unique composition produces a yarn that keeps you warm. It is durable and will remain in good condition year after year and be passed down from father to son.
Istex is not only known for its yarns, but also for its design. In their pattern books you will find many patterns and instructions for "lopapeysa" (Icelandic sweaters) that knitters love to make and wear all over the world.
