Lttlopi Wool

What was your inspiration?

I have a lopi sweater that was purchased for me in Keflavik. It's beautiful but huge, and I seldom wear it. I wanted a lopi sweater that would fit and that I could wear with almost everything - and this class fit the bill perfectly!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Even though the yarn is kind of scratchy at first, after a wash or two and plenty of wearing, it gets better!

That is very true about lopi wool getting softer. Where did you get those wonderful buttons???

Stunning! What a great color choice. I had the same experience with the yarn being scratchy at first. Now it's so soft I want to wear it every day. ;) Enjoy!
