Icelandic sweaters
Icelandic sweaters, known as lopapeysa, are traditional garments made from the wool of Icelandic sheep. These sweaters 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 Icelandic climate.
The knitting technique used for lopapeysa involves a seamless construction, allowing for comfort and flexibility. They are popular not only in Iceland but also among knitters and fashion enthusiasts worldwide. Many people appreciate the blend of functionality and artistry that these sweaters represent.
