Q: How do I find my size?

Lopapeysur are knitted to fit generously. The most reliable way: measure a favourite sweater flat and compare it with the size chart on each product page. Our full guide: how to find your size.

Q: Is Icelandic wool itchy?

It has a rustic feel — a lopapeysa is made to be worn over a shirt or light layer, not on bare skin. The wool softens noticeably with wear, and that same robust fibre is what makes it windproof and long-lived.

Q: How do I care for a lopapeysa?

Mostly, you don't wash it — airing it out is usually enough, as Icelandic wool is naturally self-cleaning. When it truly needs washing: hand wash in cool water with wool soap, press the water out gently and dry flat.

Q: Do US orders pay customs on delivery?

No — duties and taxes are settled at checkout, so there is nothing to pay when the parcel arrives. No customs bills, no courier fees.

I Love My New Sweater

I ordered this authentic sweater for an upcoming wedding in Iceland this Fall. I am an odd size but finally got my measurements right and sent in. The sweater fits great. Too hot here in July in the Southern US so I really won't get to wear it much until much later. Customer service was great, quality is great. I highly recommend The Icelandic Store!

The nicest sweater I have ever owned

The nicest sweater I have ever owned.

Just like the picture.

Lovely jumper for our son in the UK. He is delighted with his new jumper. Which arrived safely and as promised by the postal service.

Happy parents too!
