Gamlalón

Gamlalón is a small Icelandic round-yoke sweater with 3/4 sleeves, very fine and ultra-lightweight, knitted with the soft Icelandic lambswool yarn Gilitrutt. With its feminine flair, it's a nod to Hélène's popular Gamaldags sweater in both name and shape. Thoughtfully constructed, the scooped neckline is achieved with a neat technique without short rows! The motif in the round yoke is inspired by the Old Blue Lagoon, formed in 1976 from the wastewater of the Svartsengi geothermal power plant. Located in the middle of a lava field, the power plant's three chimneys rose dramatically above the hot, silica-enriched pool blue, where people began to bathe. The bathing lagoon was later relocated farther from the power plant but continues to be fed by its wastewater.
