The range includes women's and men's sweaters, cardigans, tops, dresses and skirts, plus children's knits, accessories and home pieces. Signature pieces include the Bjøll sweater, the Stásilig cardigan, the Isabella dress and the Bjarma balaclava. Its knitwear is hand-knitted by women in the Faroe Islands, with some pieces knitted in Jordan and Peru, using wool, alpaca and mohair.
