Dreaming about something special like Iceland itself?

I’m knitter. But not the usual one. I’m knitting Icelandic wool sweaters with hood. Using authentic Icelandic wool. Wool coming from Icelandic sheep grazing on Icelandic lands

I use Icelandic patterns or design new ones based on them. Believe me. There are hundreds of various designs and new ones are constantly being created.

I am faithful to one type of wool, called plotulopi. This is the most natural type of wool. This wool looks like a thin woolen strip. It is unprocessed, like any other. Individual strands are thin and tear easily.ย 

But when two or three threads are used together, they have strength that will last for years in the form of a sweater. I really like this wool. It is fluffier and more pleasant to the touch than the others.

ย And because it is not a traditional thread and is little processed, I feel that it is more natural than others.

Welcome to my world!

Wool sweater can be with zipper or buttons, or the regular one. I need one, two days more than for normal one, to make it. I have to use a sewing machine.ย 
And crotchet him after. It takes more time. They are comfortable. Easy to put on and elegant.

Traditional Icelandic woolen hooded sweaters are lopapeysa in Icelandic. From lopi – wool and peysa, i.e. sweater. My first lopapeysa was red. Then Red Lopapeysa was born.

It's my first time in Iceland - my husband and I are travelling to celebrate our 25th anniversary and my 50th birthday. We love the outdoors and have been enjoying hiking ๐Ÿฅพ, waterfalls ๐ŸŒŠ, and geothermal bathing. I ordered aurora sweater. I'd like the colours in the pattern to be the colours of the northern lights.

It's here... my one of a kind Icelandic wool sweater made by Red lopapeysa is finally home and I couldn't be happier!!. She did such an amazing job, this is two designs into one sweater and it has her unique hood on it. The colors of the sweater are the colors of the landscape we saw in Iceland. It makes me miss the scenery of Iceland and I can't wait to go back one day โค๏ธ And come on who doesn't love paw prints and dogs?! ๐Ÿพ Thank you so so much for putting so much love into the sweater and the delivery.
