- A favourite wedding & housewarming gift
Ægissíða is the seaside street in Reykjavík where the city meets the Atlantic. Pattern no. 1052 carries that landscape in blues and greys. Part of the Álafoss landscape series, designed by Védís Jónsdóttir for Ístex, in Icelandic wool.
Icelandic wool is light for its size and properly warm, so this is a throw you reach for: over the sofa, at the foot of the bed, around your shoulders on a cold evening. The weave has a fine texture and both short ends finish in a fringe.
130 × 200 cm (about 51 × 79 in). Air it out between uses; wool rarely needs washing. When it does, hand wash in lukewarm water with wool soap, do not wring, and dry flat. One of our most-gifted blankets, for weddings, housewarmings and thank-yous.

Icelandic wool, designed in Iceland
The blanket Icelanders reach for
Light on the lap and properly warm, because Icelandic wool has two layers: long outer fibres that shrug off damp, soft inner fibres that hold the heat. Air it out rather than wash it, and it lasts for years.

Absolutely fabulous wool blanket. This is a large throw and so warm, yet lightweight! I am so happy with the color, quality and service. In fact, it arrived in only one week from Iceland to USA via DHL. I will be back for more as these will make fabulous gifts!
I love everything I bought from the shop, but this one blanket is my favorite. It manages to give a warm feeling despite its blue and grey shades. I'm using it as a tapestry, which also gives me the opportunity to see it entirely, and it never fails to make me happy and inspired.
I would like to add that the customer service has been adorable when I got a little worry, and I really appreciate the extra treats as they extend my vicarious journey to Iceland!!
Merci!
Excellent blanket and delivery
The blanket is Beautiful. My son & his wife are enjoying is beauty & warmth.
Beautifully packed. Arrived in perfect condition. The colours were exactly as described in the picture.
Light, warm. Just what one would expect from a genuine Icelandic blanket.
The DHL service was excellent. It was very easy to handle the duty charges. Highly recommended it.
Both the quality of this blanket and the service of the Icelandic Store have been nothing short of phenomenal. It was delivered within one week of ordering and packaged beautifully. The extra chocolates were such a thoughtful touch! As for the blanket...let's just say that my husband and I fight over who gets to lay with it! It is so warm and cozy and everything I hoped it would be. Would recommend 10x over!
The blanket is a gift for our daughter and son-in-law. I opened it abd it looks and feels great so I'm sure they will love it. They have another of your blankets they purchased while on holiday in Iceland so they know what they wanted.
They will be very pleased with the blanket.
I first saw an Opi blanket at a guesthouse two weeks ago in Iceland. I loved it & love mine. Your service is exceptional- so speedy!
Purchased this blanket on the weekend and received it on a Monday in the states, this is better than local mail. It’s so beautiful and warm, I’m certain I will be ordering more for family. Also can’t wait to get yarn when it’s available.
Loved the blankets. Ordered five and they are all wonderful. Used than as thank you gifts.
I love everything that is Icelandic made. It is true quality, beautiful and made from Icelandic wool.
Love this blanket and the store. Thank you so much for your products.
My husband loves it. Would definitely recommend the blanket to anyone interested.
Amazing! Blanket ordered on-line on Tuesday, delivered first thing on Friday morning. From Iceland! This is what I call good service. Added to which, the blanket is absolutely beautiful......of course!
Obviously we will have to continue to order special items from Icelandic Store.
Yours with grateful thanks,
Michael & Pat Coxson
Excellent blanket, lovely and warm and delivered very quickly.
Always prompt with fine products. This blanket is functional and beautiful.
The experience was very good and the blanket is nicer than on your website, so I am really pleased with it, beautiful product and high quality. It was the perfect gift!
Lovely blanket of excellent quality. Quick shipping
I was happy with the price fast International delivery (I live in NYC and it arrived in two days from Iceland). This throw blanket is lightweight and very warm. It has an artisanal feel to it. Note that the yarn has a slight sheepish smell which is not entirely surprising considering the source.
I have this throw which I use in the chilly evenings when watching the television just cosy up and enjoy
Superior: easy navigable website, speedy delivery to the US, compact package, but best of all, high-quality wool blanket.
The throw is light yet warm and beautifully made I have ordered a total of five. They make great presents. The website is easy to use and shipping is fast.
Haven't received the blanket yet and im sure it will be as described. However, DHL charges 29$ for customs costs. Interestingly enough it seems to be included in the cost od the blanket. Website advertises 170$, charges 115. Suggests DHL express 2 day delivery for 26$ ( still 1 week), and then you get an email from DHL saying they need 29$ for custom fees. Seems like a little bit of a scam on DHL side. Too bad.
The order arrived so quickly! I couldn’t believe it came from Iceland.
The Alafoss Wool blanket is exceptionally beautiful and warm, perfect as an outdoor blanket on chilly nights and as an indoor comfy for snuggling!
Its subtle blue and grey tones and simple landscape design make it an aesthetic edition to my collection of blankets from around the world.
Great service, only suprise was extra charge from DHL tax before delivery. Product is just what we expected after having short break in Iceland and seeing the products on our golden circle tour
It’s the second one I have bought and we just live it
This is a gift, which was delivered quickly, and will not be reviewable until after Christmas.
I bought this for my son for Christmas. I’ll have to let you know what he thinks once he gets it,
This is a beautiful blanket - almost a work of art. The colors are gorgeous. Quality is excellent.
Package arrived a few days after ordering. The blanket makes a very special gift.
I love the items I bought. Your store consistently sells very high quality, beautifully made products.
I loved mine so much that I bought one for my Sister. She loves it. Lightweight but warm and soft compared to most wool blankets.
