Brand new sweater.
Purchased in Reykjavik from the “Handknitting association of Iceland”.
Icelandic sheep are worth mentioning here. They are different from all sheep in the world. They live in isolation from other species and probably thanks to this they have developed a special wool that protects them against Icelandic weather conditions. Brought by the Vikings centuries ago, they are doing very well on the island. Their wool is waterproof and windproof. It consists of two layers. It's hard to get cold in products made of such wool. Seriously. A woolen hat, socks, gloves and, of course, the lopapeysa itself is definitely a must have for everyone.
Sweater is knitted in real icelandic wool yarn. Icelandic wool has a distinctive combination of inner and outer fibers. The outer fibers are long, glossy, tough and water-resistant, while the inner ones are fine, soft and insulating, providing a high resistance to cold.
Authentic Icelandic wool is free of any residues of pesticides and herbicides as their usage in sheep farming is unknown in Iceland.
