Last spring, Beth Casey of Lorna’s Laces and I agreed that their new yarn, Haymarket -- a 100% Blue-Faced Leicester wool -- would make a fine version of the classic Icelandic Lopapeysa. I love those kinds of sweaters, and I was excited to see what effect Lorna’s Laces jewel toned palette could have on the form: this was my gig!

The yoke pattern is a riff on a German embroidery motif, but elongated and colored in a way that begins to feel a bit Turkish to me.

A Turkish/German Lopapeysa? Why not?
