These women’s sweaters are rich in tradition, Icewear's collection has evolved at the forefront of the industry. Because Icelandic wool is naturally anti-bacterial and uniquely warm, Icewear later added knitted jumpers from softer and lighter wools to their collection.
That said, Icewear utilises different wool techniques to bring foward different features. These include lightly twisted wool “Léttlopi”, the strongest “loðband” or “einband” one-ply wools and “plötulopi” which is lightly processed ensuring a very soft sweater.
Icelandic sheep are one of the purest sheep breeds in the world. They are used to harsh conditions, being tough and healthy with a dual coated fleece that features a long external coat known as “tog” and a finer heat-retaining internal layer of coat called “þel”.
