It all begins with the sheep.
In the rugged landscapes of Iceland and Norway, sheep have evolved over centuries to thrive in some of the harshest climates on earth.
The wool they produce is nothing short of extraordinary — and it's no wonder Nordic wool has become a favourite among knitters who value quality, sustainability, and natural beauty.
Icelandic sheep grow a dual-layered fleece: the outer tog is coarse, long, and water-resistant, while the inner þel is soft, light, and incredibly warm. This natural engineering creates a wool like no other — airy yet insulating, breathable yet weatherproof.
This is why Ístex Lopi wool is a top choice for garments that must brave the cold, wind, and rain while remaining comfortable and stylish.
Norwegian wool, too, is known for its strength, elasticity, and lofty structure, giving it volume and excellent thermal properties.
The sheep graze freely on natural pastures, and the wool is often left untreated, preserving its natural character and skipping the synthetic treatments that can harm the environment.
When you choose Nordic wool, you're not just picking a yarn — you're supporting animal-friendly farming, avoiding microplastics, and embracing a centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship. These wools are made to last, carrying with them a story of resilience, purity, and care for the planet.
Knit with something that matters. Knit with Nordic wool.

She, like knitters everywhere, swears by the quality and comfort of Nordic knitting wools.
