About The Icelandic Store — family-run in Iceland since 2013
The Icelandic store came into inception as a small family run business in 2013. It started in the capital in Reykjavik in Iceland. With its humble and modest beginnings, it initially began as an online business and due to a growing demand for the quality products that we provide; it has expanded into a global business, with customers all around the world. The root cause of the demand for our products lies in three major factors: top-notch quality, amazing customer service and authentic products.
Our hand-knitted sweaters are knitted in Iceland from Icelandic wool, and that is what makes them special. Our range also includes knitting yarn and kits, blankets, candy, skincare and gifts. Together they help the local industry in Iceland by providing work and by preserving the cultural heritage of the craft.
Our main products are sweaters, which are hand knitted from superior quality wool, carefully extracted from Icelandic sheep. The yarn obtained from these sheep is different compared to other sheep, because it is a pure breed, which has been kept separate from other sheep for more than centuries. The yarn used is thick enough to be worn without any additional jacket or outerwear over it. This assures the purity of the yarn, which is carefully knitted by hand. We provide a range of designs for men, women and children. The designs of the sweaters themselves are reflective of traditional Icelandic patterns, which also incorporating a modern style.
Recently, the industry has been facing a dearth of authentic products, and we continue to be one of the few remaining businesses that are providing original and credible apparel and other items made with genuine 100% Icelandic sheep yarn. We will continue to focus towards making genuine Icelandic yarn apparel available conveniently to people from across the globe.
