Icelandic mittens : 25 traditional patterns reimagined

Book
The Textile Museum in Blönduós, located in northern Iceland, houses a unique and fascinating collection of hand-knitted Icelandic mittens, dating back centuries. Drawn by the weight of history and the wealth of traditional motifs on display in their beautifully preserved catalogue, Guðrún Hannele Hentinnen, an expert with a degree in textile studies - and the owner of a yarn shop located in Reykjavik - has reconstructed patterns and charts based on those historical examples, and breathed new life into a selection of mittens and gloves for the modern knitter.
