Varma by Johanna Vaurio-Teräväinen (FI, EN)

Varma is a beautiful and quick-to-make Icelandic cardigan for outdoor activities. Knitted from double Plötulopi yarn, it is not only fast to knit, it also keeps you very warm and protects well from both moisture and wind. You can adjust the length of the hem according to your needs. Varma is an Icelandic word and means warmth. Its wonderfully hazy and dreamy look is achieved when already harmonious colors are mixed into wonderful, soft color blending. With a greater contrast of colors, the cardigan gets a completely new look. As with many Icelandic sweaters, the sleeves are knitted first, followed by the body, and the yoke comes last, combining everything into a completed garment. The wool of Icelandic sheep has developed in the harsh conditions of the northern island nation and is characterized by good resistance to wind and humidity. In Iceland, garments made of this wool are used both indoors and outdoors, depending on their thickness. Wearing Varma, you can easily go outside even in a little frost or in a light rain, especially when the surface of the garment has become slightly felted due to wearing and use. Thanks to its fit, it is also easy to layer under outerwear.
