Icelandic Sweaters
Icelandic sweaters, known as lopapeysa, are traditional garments made from Icelandic wool. They are characterized by their unique circular yoke patterns, which often feature intricate designs inspired by nature and folklore. The wool is warm, water-resistant, and breathable, making these sweaters ideal for the cold climate of Iceland.
These sweaters are typically hand-knitted, showcasing the craftsmanship of local artisans. The use of natural colors from sheep, such as white, gray, and black, adds to their rustic charm. Today, Icelandic sweaters are popular not only in Iceland but also among knitters and fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
