Thank you so much, Kristy, for this wonderful interview! I am so inspired! Could you share the pattern name of the shawl the store representative was wearing that you interviewed? She said it was an icelandic sweater knitted in Einband but I could not find the pattern name.
I love their philosophy! Those garments are timeless, indeed.
I see all of that wool and those beautiful sweaters, and I wonder how they ensure that no moths or bugs get into it. With everyone taking it home to their home conditions, and then back. What a magnificent store and tour! Thanks Kristi!!!
Two years later, I was hoping to see that answer.
I think it`s a mostly cold environment .... but I thought that as well :)
wow, it's like a yarn utopia. I really wanted to see the sweaters more, you passed by them so quick! i saw one with i think some roses that looked beautiful they all are just gorgeous really love the volcanic design and the horses also.
I’ve been to the Hespa dyeing studio, it was magical!
you can get yarn in grocery store in Norway as well, probobly not icelandic yarn though,
21:45 I've bought a couple of lopayesas there; plus a hat and scalf made of pure Icelandic wool.
Before I started watching the video, I pulled out yarn to make one of the sweaters (Öræfi) you showed. I bought the kit a couple of years ago and thought I should get started on it. I took it as a sign:) Such an interesting video!
Moths watch out for moths lol
Thanks you so much for this video, especially the scenes! I visited the 2nd store 1 1/2 years ago and got my own sweater and yarn and pattern for a vest. I love my sweater and wear it all the time. It’s an amazing operation! This brought back such great memories. I would like to buy ALL the Sweaters!
Love em
What a great video. This is so cool that we can experience Iceland thru you! I has a couple hour layover when I was on my way to Norway. After watching this Iceland series I should plan a stop over if I go back to Norway!
Superb video, thank you.
I have never seen such beautiful sweaters in one place. So lovely. Classic designs
I have so enjoyed this series from Iceland! I just finished my first Lopi sweater from a kit from Ysolda Teague the pattern is Bleideag. Your series tied the land, people, and sheep together for me.
i just found you recently and this was soooo interesting . loved it thank you
Beautiful knitting! How or can a person order from them? Thank you for sharing this!
Online store will be up soon. Until then you can send an email to handknit@handknitted.is
since 2 weeks I`m knitting with plötulopi and I love it so much! I hold it single with a very thin MohairAlpaka yarn (1500m/100g) and it works really well and its still light. I knit the Miles Shirt Jacket. Thank you for sharing this all, need to go there one day....
Kristy, what's the name of the sweater in black and that fiery looking wool, like lava, that you looked at in the store?
It doesn’t have a name, it’s her own creation
@@kristyglassknits thank you Kristy! Can one order it?
Yes. Send an email to handknit@handknitted.is
My friend went with a tour group to Iceland this past summer and really had an enjoyable holiday, and went yarn shopping for me. Now I have more yarns coming so I can knit up a couple sweaters
I LOVE your hat!!!
back in 89 I tromped around Norway til I found something similar and bought 2 wonderful sweaters... need to find where they are packed as I miss them.
Oh, have fun in Iceland! Such a different country than the US... and I loved that yarn association shop! Loved all the Lopi sweaters. I bet you’ll find a big difference in Rekjavik than your last visit!! ( I bought some beautiful Marino yarn there to knit a pair of socks to remind me of my trip to Iceland!)
My very first sweater I made was an Icelandic Lopi sweater. It would be a dream to visit lceland! Love the videos of the yarn shops in Iceland 🇮🇸
THIS video!! I am in heaven. Thanks Kristy xx Ency
Thanks so much for this delightful tour! It put many smiles on my face!
really nice!! congrats for the footage
Any idea what the name of the cable cardigan with moss stitch sections is? Could not find it on Ysolda. Its gorgeous.

It's without the hood in the video
This was amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Nice interview Kristy!
Please do not refer to machine-knitted sweaters as "cheaters." That is very disrespectful to those who have created a beautiful garment, using a very different skill set. Would you call a machine-sewn quilt a "cheater"?
I learned a lot from a machine knitter I had on my channel. I think I was probably saying it in a teasing way. I have a lot of respect for all makers, including machine knitters. Thanks for your feedback.
Beautiful sweaters! It would be wonderful if they had an online store.
They do have one on handknitted.is
Do you happen to have the location (address) of the first location with the kits? I’d really like to go to the first location in June 2020

this is from reykjavik crawl page, there are 10 best yarn shops in Reykjavik on this site
Rosa Thor thank yoh
Super good!
Wowwwww!!!
Hi Kristy! I am headed to Iceland in a couple of weeks and I am so hyped to get one of these amazing treasures! Do you know if they can custom make sweaters for larger sizes? My husband wants one but he is a really big guy and I just know they wouldn't have his size.
I suggest checking the thrift stores ! They are made from the hands of Icelanders for a variety of bodies and will be less $$. But do ask the shop owners at hand knitting ass. Maybe they will work with you.
