Rollur Hat
From € 4,76
After the Rollur mittens and the Rollur sweater, here is the newest addition to my ever growing Sheep Collection: the matching Rollur hat.
The Rollur collection is an ode to the Icelandic sheep. Brought by the first settlers more than a thousand years ago, the Icelandic sheep is the only breed of sheep in Iceland, and it is strictly forbidden to mix it with any other breed. Rollur (pronounced rodlur and rolling the r) is a familiar term for sheep in Iceland.
And what better way to honor the Icelandic sheep than to use the beautiful Heiður yarn (Heiður means Honor in Icelandic) from Urðurull? This exceptionally soft yarn is spun with lamb’s wool from the Dalir valleys in the West of Iceland and is available in all the natural colors of the Icelandic sheep.
Yarn used: Heiður yarn from Urðurull (to purchase directly in their webshop), you can also use Léttlopi or any other Aran weight.
