We love Icelandic Lopi wool and their popular iconic woven blankets have been hard to come by but are back in the US!
These beautiful, classic fringed throws are made from 100% Icelandic wool and showcase everything we love about this amazing fiber. Each one is extremely durable, lightweight, breathable, warm and make perfect gifts. The outside layer is hydrophobic and combed after weaving to make it soft.
Icelanders know better than to count on agreeable weather. They always prepare for an adventure. They know that if you’re warm, you always have a good time. Rain or shine, volcanic eruption or not.
There comes a moment where snuggling under a warm blanket, with a great book or WIP is the best possible use of your time. Truly.
The manufacturer
Ístex Ltd. is the main wool manufacturer in Iceland, with over a century of wool tradition behind the products. We bring you wool blankets, with narrative threads that weave together a modern sensibility of style, the artistic inspiration of a dramatic landscape and the unique quality of Icelandic yarn.
The wool
The Icelandic wool has been crucial to the survival of our nation as it provided both warmth and protection throughout centuries of harsh weather. It is also quite unique compared to wool of other sheep breeds. The inner fibers are fine, soft and highly insulating while the outer fibers are long, glossy and water repellent. Therefore products made of Icelandic wool are extremely durable, lightweight and breathable.
Styles available are Land, Floi, Aegisioa, Fletta, Fuglar, Mjoll, Kaflaskipti, Tonar, Hestar, Hum, Lon, Vetrarhiminn, Blom, Bot, Utilega, Vinnkill, Fjarski.
