Nomadic knits made with Icelandic loppie
 |
Description
Book Introduction
“Shall we knit freely with simple threads, as if we were running around with sheep?”
“‘Nomad’ originally meant ‘nomad,’ but in this book it also carries the nuance of ‘a person who lives freely.’
“It’s a knitwear for people who live freely without being tied down by anything.”
Lopi yarn, known as the yarn for Iceland's traditional knitwear, Lopi sweaters, is a yarn with unique characteristics and texture that is lighter, warmer, and more water-repellent than regular wool.
This book's theme is "Let's enjoy Lofi yarn with a freer imagination!" We present 19 designs, including sweaters, hats, bags, and room shoes, by Saichika, a renowned knitter known for creating pieces that showcase the unique characteristics of fun patterns and materials.
The soft, fluffy, lightweight, and bulky nature of Lopi yarn has a natural charm full of the “feel of sheep.”
The yarns used in this book are the best-selling "Arapos Lofi" (extremely thick) and "Retro Lofi" (sickly thick), but we also suggest a way to enjoy them freely, a little differently from the best-sellers.
From basic sweater patterns to one-piece dresses, felt vests, and jackets, the "Shepherd Series" is a collection of creative knitwear pieces by a knit designer brimming with fun ideas unique to Cytica!
This book was composed mainly of knit designs that can most beautifully bring out the texture and natural color of Icelandic wool 'Lopi' yarn.
It includes practical pieces that can be worn for a long time in everyday life, such as sweaters, cardigans, hats, and bags, and provides step-by-step guidance on measurements, gauges, yarn selection, and finishing tips so that even beginner knitters can follow along.
Recommended for both beginners and enthusiasts who want to experience the unique texture of Lopi yarn and the charm of Icelandic knitwear.
