Lofoten Cod Fish Lopapeysa — Knitting Kit

The Lofoten Lopapeysa is a striking Icelandic-style sweater designed by Olga Begak. Knit in durable Léttlopi wool by Ístex, the design features bold Nordic motifs and a richly colored yoke inspired by traditional Scandinavian knitwear. Despite its Icelandic style, the Lofoten Cod Fish Lopapeysa takes its name from the Norwegian Lofoten Islands, which are world famous for their cod fishing.

What’s in the kit

The yarn included in the kit is enough to make the largest size of the sweater.
