The knitting strength is only indicative, as there may be individual differences from knitter to knitter:
6 gives a knitting strength of 16 m and 22 rows in stockinette stitch with 1 thread = 10 x 10 cm
7 gives a knitting strength of 13 m and 28 rows in stockinette stitch with 1 thread = 10 x 10 cm
Einband is a single strand spinning yarn which can be knitted independently for shawls, dresses, hats or skirts. It is also perfect as a companion thread for both létlopi, álafosslopi and plattulopi. Einband seems raw and stiff when it is in the skein - but the yarn softens and becomes soft when it is knitted up and washed.

Icelandic wool
The Icelandic wool from the spinning mill ISTEX is one of the favorites in my knitting basket. Istex buys the wool directly from the Icelandic farmers for the spinning mill. Here the wool is washed and dyed. A treatment that takes into account preserving the unique properties Icelandic wool has from nature. This makes Icelandic wool lighter than other wool products, and the wool's unique structure with an inner and outer fiber makes it both water-repellent and breathable.
The yarn is a really good quality and of course ideal for the classic Icelandic sweaters but also for warm cardigans, skirts, dresses, blankets or pillows. All the yarn types have a 'hot' color palette that suits every mood.
