About: Traditional Icelandic sweater, lopapeysa. Perfect for snowy days and keeping warm while hitting the slopes. These can be purchased as a souvenir in Iceland but the travel there or the tax to ship one of these from Iceland can be expensive. In November 1977, a group of people, mainly women, founded The Handknitting Association of Iceland. Their aim was to increase their income by knitting and selling sweaters and other garments from the unique wool characterstic of the Icelandic sheep. All our handmade products are knitted in Iceland by members of The Handknitting Association of Iceland.
