I've had several new arrivals lately. This one is from my friend Pete at the DOT who takes a trip to Iceland each year to take amazing photos of the 24-hour daylight. He picked me up some lovely Icelandic yarn.
Three skeins are Alafosslopi a bulky weight. The fourth is Lettilopi in what appears to be a light worsted (DK maybe?).

It is a little scratchier than the yarn I usually tend towards, so I am not entirely sure what to make with it. Something felted? Mittens?
More sheep like I did with the last Icelandic wool I got? Suggestions?

LOVE the colours. And I can attest that felting not only makes the yarn softer, but much warmer too. Jewel tone mittens sound like a fabulous idea.
