GÆFA
Gæfa is a hat with a design and technique typical for Iceland. The name gæfa means good luck or good fortune in Icelandic. The pattern comes in two different colour versions, one with a white or light base colour and one with a darker base colour. The hat is knit bottom up in the round with stranded knitting, with decreases worked into the rounds symmetrically.
Gæfa is knit in plötulopi, Icelandic unspun pre-yarn held double. The unspun yarn may seem fragile when knitting it, but thanks to the long fiber of the Icelandic sheep, the result is a strong and soft fabric. The Icelandic sheep has a wool with unusually long outer fibres with tough and water-resistant qualities, combined with fine, soft inner fibers that insulate against cold temperatures.
