Helga Vally Björgvinsdóttir
Steeped in an age-old heritage, our duo comes to us directly from Iceland. It's knit in the traditional style with a circular yoke and Icelandic wool. Designer, Helga Vally Björgvinsdóttir entered her folkloric sweater in the Lopi contest and knitters everywhere became winners. Read about Knitter's journey to Iceland and the contest beginning on page 20.
