[...] you know, I headed over to Iceland earlier this year for a trip filled with adventure, lots of sheep and wool, and wonderfully cool [...]

Wool, wonderful wool! Love the photo essay of your tour. Man, I wish I could have seen it all in person.

I’m speechless. Wow. I have a trunk-load of Icelandic sweaters. This is where they came from – HA!

They gotta need someone to test the yarn surely? When can I move in?

We did an on-the-fly day tour with Ragga when we visited last year and really enjoyed the Ístex tour. We’ve been in similar factories in Peru (joys of being married to a designer), but it’s always fun to watch the process. Even more fun was visiting the Álafoss store afterward and doing some serious stash enhancement. We’re heading back to Iceland this August, and I fully plan on taking at least one or two empty duffel bags to bring back even more!

Awwww, that’s too bad. Ragga does day tours as well in case you can convince hubby to hike up a mountain or something while you ogle sheep and wool. Or convince him to go! We went with a group of non-knitters and they were mesmerized. I don’t know that they could have handled a whole week, but a day of fibery goodness was fun.

Mmm Icelandic wool! It felt so interesting when Ragga had her samples in my class at Stitches. This would have been such a fun tour to go on. I’m so sad I had to stay behind for work! >:(
