Knitters:
Traditionally knit ”in-the-round”, ICelandiC pullovers and Cardigans are fast and easy projects. Leftovers are great for making hats and mittens. For a fun project, knit your piece oversized and then try felting to Create extra warm and durable garments and accessories.
Weavers:
It's suitable for weft but not warp sinCe it is too loosely spun
- great for blankets, jaCkets, shawls, and wall hangings
- works well as a twill threading with Harrisville Highland, Bartlett worsted, or Peace Fleece at 6-10 epi (Use a 1 up 3 down tie-up so the Lopi will sit on the surface and show off. weave 1-3 tabby shots between Lopi wefts to Create a firm backing.)
Lopi is a little too soft to use as a warp, but it makes a great weft for blankets, jaCkets and shawls, as well as wall hangings.
This is a great way to Combine texture with Color and weave effeCts.
