ISTEX

ISTEX

Unique in its composition, Icelandic wool consists of two types of fibres: inner fibres are fine, soft, highly insulating and outer fibres are long, glossy, water-repellent. Together, these two distinctive fibres create a wool that is: lightweight - lighter than most other wools, keeps you warm and comfortable; water-repellent - repels rain and stays feeling dry; breathable - moisture passes through the fibres away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. ISTEX produces garments that are comfortable to wear indoors or outdoors.

You will be supporting the hand-crafted yarn rather than mass-produced. As a knitter, crocheter or weaver, you also will be contributing to women’s careers in harmony with family life, and contributing to the landscape, and cultural heritage of Uruguay.
