Traditional hand knitted Icelandic woolen sweaters. The art of knitting pullovers and cardigans has past from mother to daughter for generations, since the time of the Viking settlement in the ninth century. Our knitters that typically are elderly women have knitted sweaters all their life, for their fisherman’s or farmer’s husbands and sons, their daughters and relatives. It takes about 30 hours to knit a quality sweater. Every sweater is marked with the knitter’s name.
