The Handknitting Association of Iceland

Visited this location in October 2025. This place has a ton of fiber of various types for purchase. If you’re not into doing the craft and creation yourself, they have a nice selection of sweaters, hats, headbands, mittens and more that their members have made available for purchase. Of course, had to grab some Icelandic yarn with my wife for her next project. The team providing service here were very kind and happy to answer any questions we had. Would absolutely visit again if in the area.

I came here twice in two days and bought yarn for two projects. Great prices and I wish I could come back again. I also bought two of their shopping bags which will make great project bags. My husband was so patient. ❤️ Lots of sweaters for sale for those who don’t knit.

This is the place to go if you want an authentic hand knitted Icelandic sweater and to support local knitters. Such a wonderful business model, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

My favourite wool store! Their customer service is excellent. I recently traveled to Iceland but arrived after the opening hours. Because I wanted to have yarn on our way to the north of Iceland, I had contacted them asking for options to pick up the yarn after ordering online. One of their employees went out of her way to make sure the parcel would be able to be picked up. And when I went to the physical store a few days after I had picked up my parcel, I was once again met by fantastic customer service. And for someone who is really, really keen on using icelandic yarn, this place obviously is the place to go as their selection of lopi wool is top notch. I would definitely recommed this shop to anyone who is an avid knitter!

Wonderful selection. Can be a touch more expensive since items here are made in Iceland and not just designed in Iceland and then made elsewhere.

This is a small shop that was crowded every time we went. It seems you get what you pay for though and the sweaters were beautiful and well made. They have both handknit and locally manufactured items so something for all wallet sizes.

One of the few places to get authentic hand woven Iceland wool items. The prices are not cheap but you're getting the real thing here. I paid about $80 USD for a cap and mittens. Be prepared to spend $300-500 USD for a sweater.

Fantastic shop for "Genuine Handknit Icelandic Wool Sweaters." I am very happy with my choice. Fire and Ice in this pattern.
