The hand-knitted Icelandic sweaters our female customers come back for — each one a genuine lopapeysa, the traditional yoke sweater, hand-knitted from Icelandic sheep's wool. You'll find pullovers for everyday simplicity and cardigans in button-up, zippered and hooded styles, all carrying the characteristic patterning on the yoke and hemline.
What makes these sweaters best sellers?
Mostly the wool. Icelandic fleece combines a water-resistant outer fiber with a soft insulating undercoat, and lopi yarn keeps both — so the sweater is warm without bulk, breathable, and at home over jeans, skirts or hiking trousers. And because each one is knitted by hand, no two are exactly alike.
If you're unsure about fit, our sizing guide helps you measure properly, and the complete range is in the Icelandic sweaters collection. We're a small family-run shop in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland — family-run since 2013 — and honest answers come free. Just ask us.
