Partner Spotlight: Helga Thoroddsen

For Thread Caravan partner, Icelandic knitwear designer Helga Thoroddsen, knitting is a practice that feels deeply rooted within her, something that has always been present. Thanks to her mother, a keen knitter and seamstress, knitting and textile crafts were embedded within the day-to-day life of her home whilst growing up. “I can’t even remember learning how to knit,” says Thoroddsen. “Like making my mother’s food, I picked up knitting without consciously knowing it.”
