What people say

Nally Preseault
"Are you still looking for the perfect gift to bring home from Iceland. Look no further than the Handknitting Association of Iceland. The association was started in the 1970s by a group of women who knit solely with wool from Icelandic sheep. The distinctive sweaters are now famous around the world. They make hats, mittens, and blankets, too. The shop is usually crowded, with both wool and people, but don't let that stop you from finding something you love. Just don't expect to find many deals."
Lisa Dahl
"🇮🇸 Many people dream of buying an Icelandic sweater when they visit. 🧶 If you want the real deal, head to the Handknitting Association of Iceland. And buy directly from the people who make them. 👉 It was started in 1977 by a group of women who wanted to share their love of knitting lopapeysa (Icelandic sweater) sourced from Icelandic wool. 🇮🇸 Many have the classic yoke design, with a wide circular pattern surrounding the neck opening. ⏰ HOURS: Monday - Saturday, 9 am - 5 pm "

" Best place to buy an authentic Icelandic sweater (Lopapeysa) Some of the tourist shops are selling sweaters that are not made in Iceland! If it has a tag on it, it wasn't made here. Support local knitters and buy your sweater here. "
