Shawn What is best in life? Forget that thing about defeating enemies — what’s best in life is being warm and feeling cozy. The Icelandic people know this all too well, so they stress the importance of woolens and sweets. (They also like fermented shark, boiled sheep heads and pickled testicles. Some things don’t translate well.)
Get a taste of Icelandic þægilegur through their world-famous woolen adult-sized mittens and “helmet”, each hand knitted by artisans in Iceland with 100% Icelandic lopi wool, unique for its double-strands that guarantee both warmth and waterproofing. You’ll also receive four 100g skeins of 100% Icelandic Álafoss Lopi wool (two in deep blue, one white and one slate gray, approximately 109 yards each), praised for its lightweight warmth. And since cold weather burns extra calories, get a taste of four large Icelandic chocolate bars, including their version of the KitKat (a darker, richer, more mocha-y affair, made with real chocolate and not that waxy American stuff). Kick back and keep warm until spring!
