In 874 A.D., the vikings brought sheep to Iceland.
After 1100 years of isolation withstanding severe climates, these icelandic sheep have developed a unique and special two-fibre wool.
One fibre is long, hollow, glossy and water-repellent. The other fibre is soft, luxurious and insulating.
This combination of fibres, having no counterpart anywhere in the world, results in a wool that is warm, light weight and water-repellent.
Icelandic wool exists in a wide range of natural colors: black, brown, taupe, beige, charcoal and grey.
