Riddari - Icelandic Sweater - Green

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.
