With Love Story Einband, Hélène Magnusson has created a true Icelandic lace weight yarn in the hope that it will help revive the Icelandic lace knitting traditions and give it a new life. Read more.
Single-ply Love Story is spun from fleeces Hélène hand-selects and grades one by one after the first shearing of the Icelandic lambs. The carefully-crafted result is an Icelandic lambswool yarn of unparalleled softness and fineness.
Love Story is especially suited for delicate, ethereal lace shawls and is reminiscent of the old handspun yarns that define traditional Icelandic lace. Alternatively, hold Love Story along with unspun Plutolopi for a classical Icelandic lopi sweater.
