Traditional Icelandic Wool Sweaters
Traditional hand knitted Icelandic woolen sweaters. The art of knitting pullovers and cardigans has past from mother to daughter for generations, since the time of the Viking settlement in the ninth century. Our knitters that typically are elderly women have knitted sweaters all their life, for their fisherman’s or farmer’s husbands and sons, their daughters and relatives. It takes about 30 hours to knit a quality sweater. Every sweater is marked with the knitter’s name.

Alafosslopi and other quality hand knitting wool yarn
Alafosslopi is the most popular hand knit wool yarn in Iceland. It is used to knit warm wool sweaters (lopapeysa in Icelandic) and accessories like wool hats and mittens. Lettlopi is lighter than Alafosslopi and is the knitting yarn that is popular to use in lighter sweaters, often colorful, for adults and children. Plotulopi is an unspun hand knitting wool yarn that the more experienced knitters use.
