Traditional Icelandic sweaters, known as lopapeysa, are hand-knitted garments made from Icelandic wool. They are characterized by their unique circular yoke designs, often featuring intricate patterns inspired by nature and folklore. The wool is warm, water-resistant, and breathable, making these sweaters ideal for the cold Icelandic climate. These sweaters are typically made using a technique called stranded knitting, which allows for multiple colors to be used in the patterns. The lopapeysa has become a symbol of Icelandic culture and craftsmanship, often worn by locals and visitors alike for both warmth and style.
