Icelandic Design

Gerdur Kristjansdottir's everyday life has always been influenced by the spectacular landscapes of Iceland. So is her knitwear. As a very young girl Gerdur collected wool from the family sheep and transformed it into warm, sturdy sweaters that were sold throughout Iceland. Each one-of-a-kind piece combined her love of natural fibers with creative use of color and hand embellishments. In 1980 she founded Icelandic Design of North America, a textile venture that celebrated the creativity and independent spirit of women. Gerdur Kristjansdottir's ongoing commitment to excellence and craftsmanship ensures that every article of clothing that carries the Icelandic Design label will be a timeless favorite that will last for years.

I ordered one size larger than normal as I thought I might want to wear a shirt underneath. Fit is perfect, good for layering but not too large alone. A tall person might think it is a bit short. Pattern and colors are great.

This sweater is gorgeous. However, it is a bit large. I normally wear an XL - and this sweater in an XL is quite big on me. So I'm returning it for a L. I would suggest ordering a size down. But otherwise, absolutely lovely. :)

Icelandic Design Linden Cardigan Sweater - Lambswool (For Women)
 
beautiful lined sweater
By chanteuse from Portland OR on 11/07/2009
Pros:
Comfortable, Great Color, Soft, Stylish, Versatile, Warm
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Special Occasions, Wear To Work
Describe Yourself:
Trendy/Stylish Dresser
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This is a beautifully made sweater with a lining so that it could serve more as a jacket/light coat. The colors make it perfect from early fall through winter. I bought it for myself but decided it would make a terrific Christmas gift for my mom or mother-in-law: the style is elegant but more mature than my casual/trendy tastes.

Comments:
At a 5' 5", 128 lbs with a T-shaped frame I ordered a medium. I found the overall look/fit not too complementary. Sleeves slightly too long, and the length seemed slightly too short, looking out of balance. I also noticed that the fit under the underarm hung a little low giving that feeling of not moving comfortably. [...]
