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 love this sweater, and it's the second one of this brand and "model" that I've purchased. Both are two of my favorite sweaters. The only thing is that they run small. I normally wear a small or medium, but with these, you really need to go up to the L/XL. The ladies who make these must be pretty small. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this and the price made it an excellent buy.

This really is a beautiful sweater. It's quite heavy so will be good in our cold climate and can probably be used as an outer jacket in the fall.

Comments:
At first the Icelandic Design sweaters look like a decent alternative to super-quality Dale sweaters, which are outside most of our budgets. However, they come nowhere near that. [*] The wool is lower-end average quality. The knit is loose larger gauge, not the dense stitches of quality knit wool. On the positive side, it fits well and is comfortable and warm. But the RETAIL price for its quality would more realistically be [$] dollars. This is not a bargain.

Since you would wear this over another top, the tight sleeves are a problem. Color is a lot paler than I had expected.

This is the softest, most perfectly made sweater I ever had. It is a lovely shade of grey with just enough trim to make it look pretty. The knitting isn't pulled or pilled and the zipper actually works very well. It is not too loose on me. I am a size eight petite and weigh about 118 lbs. and I love the way it fits me. The yarn is incredibly soft and warm. I could wear while running errands or going out, skiing etc. I don't work but I think it would be work with certain pants for work.

This handknit sweater is beautifully constructed and features buttons that different from one another and are made of bone. It is sure to be considered unique by friends. The fit (S/M) is good for those who wear size 6-8, in other words it runs small for a size medium individual.
