The Handknitting Association of Iceland
Buy directly from the People who make them
The Handknitting Association of Iceland was founded in November of 1977. A few women, who had used knitting to supplement their families´income, decided to join forces and established an organization in order to facilitate more extensive marketing of their knitted products.
The initial members' meeting was held in Reykjavík and was attended by close to 1.000. Active members are currently around 200.
The Association is housed at Skólavörðustígur 19, in the old city center of Reykjavík. Soon after the Association was established, a store was opened to sell members' handknitted woollen goods. The store, which is also located at Skólavörðustígur 19, is a flourishing business in its own right. The Association now employs a staff of 4.
