Totally agree. I’m a new convert to Lopi yarn and it is PERFECT for your designs. As you say, it’s rustic, natural and the ideal medium for your designs. I agree to be careful handling it though as it’s not too tightly spun and can break if you pull too hard. The range of colours is beautiful and a ball of the wool unmade into anything is a thing of natural beauty. I have found a brilliant UK web supplier of this beautiful yarn at a great price if you would like more details? Go Lopi! X
Excellent post. The yarn can make a huge difference in a project looking like a million dollars or looking cheap. Thank you for posting this valuable information.
Thanks for all this info and the great close-up photos! I love the texture and colors of all your popkes. Is Léttlopi a brand of Lopi, or is it a specific size/ thickness of Lopi? How many meters per 50 or 100 grams?
Hi Ingrid, good you mention this about yardage, I forgot to mention it!
The Léttlopi is a thickness of Lopi. There’s also a bulky and another thickness I think. The Léttlopi is for 50 grams ca 100 m/109 yd. I’ll add this info to the post.
It’s not really suitable for making brads right? Or is it possible and you like the challenge?

You were one of the people that asked me all about this a while ago and gave me the idea to make this post!
