Iceland - Háafell & Hvanneyri

Háafell goat farm near Borgarnes is a great place to visit. The friendly owner speaks good English, and the goats are extremely cute, soft and amicable. As a bonus, there are two dogs who just love visitors.










Ullarselið handicraft and yarn shop in Hvanneyri has some exciting products and yarn

Iceland - Ísafjörður

Ísafjörður, the capital of West Fjords, has promising yarn bombing culture


Heitt-Á-Prjónunum knitting café is an amazing place - you can feed two addictions at the same time, namely caffeine and yarn :D

Iceland - Reykjavik & Mossfellsbaer

As a true knitaholic, I had to include yarn-related places to visit on our trip to Iceland. Some of the woolly sights were accidental, though, such as these yarn-bombed trees in Reykjavík.






We visited the mecca of Lopi, aka Ístex factory outlet at Álafoss (Mossfellsbaer, right outside of Reykjavík) twice. First time to get some yarn, second time to re-stock. We did, after all, drive around Western Iceland for a week, which means that by the time we returned to the capital area, I had finished a large proportion of the yarn bought on the first visit :D





I am sure that the Bentley knitting machine is placed in the corner of the shop to keep the husbands happy with engineering miracles
