In this photo taken on Tuesday, April 30, 2019, Thuridur Einarsdottir, founder of the Handknitting Association of Iceland, folds a 'lopi' sweater in Reykjavik. Trouble is rattling one of Iceland’s most distinctive industries: the production of the thick, hand-knitted “lopi” sweaters adored by tourists and worn with pride by locals. The individually produced, very warm sweaters have become a symbol of Iceland. But increasingly the local wool is being shipped to the cheaper labor market of China, where the sweaters are hand-knitted and then sent back for sale on the North Atlantic island.
