Icelandic cooperative

Since 1977, the Handknitting Association of Iceland has united local knitters in Reykjavik to sell hand-knitted lopapeysa sweaters directly – no middlemen, just pure Icelandic wool and decades of tradition. These are heirloom pieces: Icelandic wool sweaters documented to last 40+ years, passed down through generations, still warm and wearable. When you buy from Handknitted.is, you support a cooperative of Icelandic makers who have protected this craft for nearly half a century.
