Vik Prjonsdottir

Vik Prjonsdottir is a collaboration between the designers Brynhildur Palsdottir, Egill Kalevi Karlsson, Gudfinna Mjoll Magnusdottir, Hrafnkell Birgisson, Thuridur Ros Sigurthorsdottir and the knitwear producer Vikurprjon.

Vikurprjon , is located in Vik, which is the southernmost village in Iceland, around 200 km from Reykjavik. The company is one of the oldest and best known knitwear producers in Iceland. The production is extremely varied but the largest part involves sewing all kinds of clothing from the Icelandic sheep wool.

The project was meant to revaluate the image of the Icelandic wool industry through unconventional product development. The new designs - woolen blankets and caps - make subtle reference to local myths, customs, and needs.

All the products are made of 100 % Icelandic sheep wool. A combination of fibres that result in a wool that is warm, light weight and water-repellent. It is a unique and sustainable source.
