Gilipeysa
From € 5,78
Gilipeysa is a sweet little yoke sweater for the wee ones. Knitted with the very soft and fine Icelandic lambswool Gilitrutt Tvíband, it has all the elements and qualities of a traditional lopapeysa (warm, light, durable, water-repellant) with the softness! The sleeves are a bit long and can be folded so you can use the cardigan longer as baby grows very fast!
Yarn used: Gilitrutt Tvíband

The lopapeysa, sweater made of lopi (lopi is unspun and means roving band in Icelandic), is a really great sweater, very warm and light, hardwearing, water repellant and thus dirt-repellant (you barely have to wash it!) but the lopi wool being a bit scratchy, it’s not so suitable for babies. My Gilitrutt yarn, made of the softest Icelandic lambswool which I hand select specially for its softness, has all the qualities of the lopi yarn but without the scratchiness. For the purists, Gilipeysa may not be a real lopapeysa since it’s not knitted with lopi but it will make babies happy!
