Hapisk
Hapisk is Hélène’s Icelandic interpretation of a Shetland hap and is part of the The Book of Haps co-edited by Kate Davies and Jen Arnall-Culliford. A hap is a Scottish dialect word for a simple shawl or wrap. Haps have a particular association with Shetland where for many decades they were knitted for everyday wear as well as for sale
. The first part of the book explores the hap’s Shetland history, and in the second part, 13 renowned designers present their contemporary interpretations of a hap.
Hapisk is knitted with Hélène’s extra soft Icelandic lambswool lace, Gilitrutt Tvíband. The price of the KIT (17 skeins) represents a substantial discount (20%) compared to if you would buy the yarn on its own. The kit doesn’t includes the pattern which is only available as part of the book.
