We asked Hélène Magnússon about the yarn she created.
Why did you decide to make your own yarn?
I created Love Story in the hope it would help to revive the Icelandic lace knitting tradition and give it a new life. It took me more than 10 years, a lot of research, experiments, and failures to create it.

Love Story is the finest Icelandic yarn that exists today. It is the closest in fineness to the old Icelandic handspun yarns made of þel (thel) that were used for knitting the old lace shawls. They were so fine they could be drawn through a golden ring. Love Story was such a technical challenge to create. It is my biggest achievement and the one I’m the most proud of.
