Our take on the Traditional Wool Pullover Blue
The Traditional Wool Pullover is a heavyweight unisex sweater hand-knitted from 100% Icelandic unspun wool, a yarn the Icelandic Lamb Marketing Board certifies. Its design follows the lopapeysa tradition of Icelandic fisherman's sweaters, and the natural wool is breathable, regulates body temperature and repels water, so it works as an outer layer in cold, damp weather. The relaxed fit and unisex cut suit men and women, and the thick unspun yarn makes it warmer and more weather-resistant than a fine-gauge merino sweater, though it is bulkier and needs more careful washing. Owners of this type of sweater value the warmth and durability; the trade-offs are weight, itchiness for some skin and the slower drying of thick wool.

Questions and answers
- Is the Traditional Wool Pullover warm enough for winter?
- Yes. It is a heavyweight sweater in thick unspun Icelandic wool, built as an outer layer for cold, damp weather. It is warmer than a standard merino crewneck but bulkier.
- Is it itchy against bare skin?
- Icelandic unspun wool is coarser than merino, so some wearers find it scratchy directly on skin. Many wear a long-sleeve base layer underneath, which also helps with washing.
- How should I wash it?
- Hand wash in cool water with wool detergent, then dry flat away from heat. Unspun wool felts easily, so avoid machine washing and wringing.
- Does it fit men and women the same?
- It is a unisex style with a relaxed fit, so the same size works for both, though the fit is loose. Check the chest and body length measurements before choosing.
- Is it water-repellent?
- The natural wool resists light rain and damp, which suits outdoor use. It is not a waterproof shell, so heavy rain will soak through.
- What is it made of?
- 100% Icelandic natural unspun wool yarn, certified by the Icelandic Lamb Marketing Board. The design is by Védís Jónsdóttir and follows the traditional fisherman's sweater pattern.
