Fir Iceland - Anne-Sophie Velling - Paper

NOTE - the recipe is in Danish

The Fir Islander is double-threaded in our New Zealand lambswool, making it the perfect warm sweater when the cooler months set in.

The sweater is knitted from top to bottom, which makes it easy to adjust its length and can therefore be used by women as well as men.

A simple and classic sweater, which with its graphic main piece brings to mind the structure and movement of the Nordic forest.

Icelander is beautiful in both undyed and plant-dyed yarn - so you can put together whatever color combination you want.
