Woolly Wonderland

Winter might be waning, but it’s still just cold enough to cosy yourself up in some winter woollies – and socially conscious knitwear company Gudrun & Gudrun have just the thing to keep you warm. Owned by two women from the Faroe Islands, which sit between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic, Gudrun & Gudrun revive traditional Faroese knitting practice to craft sustainable and stylish garments for women, men and children. They use 100% untreated wool sourced from Faroese sheep that live in the mountains, subsisting on unfertilised grass and producing some of the finest cheese and yoghurt thanks to their clean diet. Brave the final weeks of chilly air in a few of these simple but sophisticated pieces from Gudrun & Gudrun’s Eco Wool Line (find their Australian stockists here), and you’ll wish winter lasted just a little longer!
