Yarm is Craftsman of the Year 2018

The craft festival 2018 is being held this weekend in Eyjafjarðarsveit. At the opening night last night, the jury announced three awards. Prizes were awarded to the most beautiful booth of the year, newcomer of the year and craftsman of the year. This time, Yarm was awarded the craftsman of the year, but Aldörk was awarded for the most beautiful booth and Icelandic Clay Birds for the newcomer of the year.

It is Erla Svava Sigurðardóttir who makes the Yarm products, but she uses only Icelandic wool in the products and hand-spins them with rock with care and precision before hand-knitting them with knitting-free methods.
