Warm Wearables Made from Icelandic Sheep Wool

Although it’s not quite that time of year yet, we still can’t help but pine for cooler weather. Creative brand Vík Prjónsdóttir is made up of three Icelandic designers, Brynhildur Pálsdóttir, Gudfinna Mjöll Magnúsdóttir, and Thuríður Sigurþórsdóttir, who aim to create designs out of the country’s natural materials, focusing on the wool industry. Using traditional Icelandic sheep wool, a sustainable material, the trio crafts high quality wearables, like cozy scarves and blankets. Here are some of our favorites:
