Ístex was established to carry on the Icelandic wool industry that started in Mosfellsbær in 1896. Ístex buys directly from farmers and processes about 99% of all Icelandic wool. Istex is a shareholding company with most of its owners Icelandic farmers or retired farmers.  

Our commitment with Lopi is to offer high-quality products from Icelandic wool to customers that choose natural, sustainable and eco-friendly living. Our wool is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. 

Ístex produces knitting yarn made of Icelandic wool, for example, Álafosslopi, Einband, Jöklalopi, Léttlopi, and Plötulopi.

Ístex publishes pattern books with Icelandic design to fulfill the demand for unique, traditional and creative patterns. Ístex also produces Icelandic wool blankets and Icelandic wool duvets.  

Products from Ístex are available worldwide.
