Hallgrímskirkja - In Stock

This striking concrete church is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland! I loved capturing the cool neutral palette of this photo of it—greys and grieges against a cool blue sky, with the barest black speckles to mark those few windows.

I also imagine this icy pale color as a representation of what the wind in Iceland feels like, which was one of the most memorable things about the climate during my visit. We took a drive north from Reykjavik into the Westfjords one day, and at a few places we stopped, the wind off the ocean was so strong we couldn’t stand upright! Thermometer-wise, Iceland actually doesn’t get as cold as you’d expect, despite its northern latitude, but the wind more than makes up for that. I like cold weather, so I didn’t mind at all :)

PAIRS WELL WITH: pretty much everything, but especially Basalt, Blue Lagoon, Jökulsárlón, and Midnight Sun!

Our yarns are hand-dyed with professional fiber reactive dyes on soft, eco-friendly vegan fibers. We do our best to represent yarn colors accurately in the listing photos, but please keep in mind that hand-dyed yarn inherently varies a bit from skein to skein, and different monitors may display colors differently.

Yarn is made in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. A scented soap is used at the beginning of the dye process on all bases except Anacostia and Severn, but is rinsed repeatedly after this; yarns otherwise do not contain fragrances.

To reduce our impact on the planet, our packaging is made of 100% plastic-free natural materials. Please reuse, recycle, or compost every piece!
