Icelandic wool does not only
shelter the sheep. Ever since the Viking
settlement in the 9th century it has been
a vital part of keeping the nation warm in
the cold and harsh arctic climate.
The unique characteristics of the wool are
passed on to the knitted garments that
still shelter Icelanders from the elements.
A soft gift combining the heritage and
highlands of Iceland.
