Making a full-size Icelandic varafeldur, a Viking-age cloak, is a daunting task, so why not start with an adaptation for the rigid-heddle loom and weave a smaller wall hanging? Whether you choose to buy prewashed and separated locks of Icelandic fleece, or wash and process the wool yourself, this project will take you back in time as you weave curly wool locks using the Icelandic knot technique.
