Knitting and wool is omnipresent on this North Atlantic island and has been for hundreds of years.  Learn interesting facts about Icelandic knitting heritage and how knitting developed from being a mandatory part of working on the farms for people of all ages into the nation’s favorite creative pastime. Today, all Icelanders can relate to knitting—everyone has a story to tell and around half the nation knits.

Join us as Ragga shares a brief history of knitting and sheep in Iceland from the settlement to modern times and gives us a glimpse into her family history.  She will bring a few items to show, also.
