The Icelandic Knitter
- Ívaf Ívaf is the label for all sorts of things crafted by Sigga Sif. She lives in Ísafjörður, a small town in the Westfjords of Iceland surrounded by steep mountains and wild sea. Sigga Sif mainly expresses her creativity through textile handcrafts, with interesting multicolor combinations, geometric patterns and textured fabrics.
- Rammagerðin Rammagerðin/Iceland Gift Store was established in 1940 and is one of the oldest gift stores in Iceland. In the beginning the mainstay of the business was framing and frame making, as the Icelandic name Rammagerðin implies. In 1949 the company started selling Icelandic designs and woolens for those buying gifts for relatives abroad.
