Pltulopi is unspun wool (pencil roving) and is traditionally used to make authentic Icelandic Lopi sweaters. It is fragile and needs to be handled delicately.

Pltulopi is mostly knitted using two or three strands, resulting in garments that are exceptionally light and airy. Pltulopi is surprisingly strong once knitted thanks to the unique characteristics of Icelandic wool.

A single strand of Pltulopi is very delicate. It can be strengthened by twisting it lightly or by knitting it with one strand of Einband. Pltulopi is great for felting, hand spinning and many other things.

Since Pltulopi is an unspun yarn, it is fragile to knit; however, due to the length of its fibres, it knits into a sweater that is both sturdy and soft.
