Explanation of the characteristics of the LOPI sweater, a traditional Icelandic knit.

LOPI is sweet twisted wool.

Like the Fisherman's Sweater, the Lopi Sweater has long been necessary for fishers in Iceland.

It is knitted with thicker roping (sweet-twist) yarn rather than the sheep's oil-retaining yarn used for the Fisherman's, which is more waterproof.

Traditional ropy sweaters have been made from undyed wool in many shades of ivory, gray, brown, and black, taking advantage of the raw wool.

Ropey sweaters are famous for their "round yokes" knitted in "centripetal knitting."

Unlike standard set-in sleeves or raglan sleeves, the "circular yoke" pattern is designed to come to the foreground with the sleeves integrated from the elbow up.
