Lea/Leifur knitting pattern

A beautiful and warm wool sweater with a traditional, Icelandic wool sweater pattern (lopapeysa). The pattern is a reproduction of a sweater that used to be sold in icewear stores, but now it is possible to knit the sweater with the very soft Saga double from Iceweargarn. The pattern is quite simple and is therefore suitable for most knitters.

Product Care Information
X

Following are general washing instructions and product care for your Icewear clothes. Please read the care label thoroughly before washing your garment. Washing instructions may vary between similar garments. If you are still unsure about how to wash your product, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Wool
(Icelandic wool sweaters / angora wool sweaters / lined sweaters)

Handwash only or use a dry cleaner that has the properties and care requirements needed to wash Icelandic wool. Use lukewarm water. Icelandic wool needs rare washing.

Wool blankets
We recommend that you hang your wool blankets occasionally outdoors in the fresh air for a couple of hours. If washing is required, we suggest dry cleaning only.

Renewing the DWR (Durable Water Repellence)
Good DWR will allow water to bead up and fall off the jacket. If the garment is not functioning this way and you’re getting wet, you may need to reproof it, using Nikwax or another reproofing product.

Light Down jackets
Use detergent specifically designed for down or technical outerwear. Tumble drying at low temperature with dryer balls is the best way to fluff the down back into shape.
