The Skrimslis

The Skrimslis Never lose your inner child 🎈 The Skrimslis of Iceland are super cute creatures that used to live in the old turf houses in Iceland with their people.

Technology affected their standard of living by forcing them to survive in new territory, out in the harsh Icelandic nature. By living in the nature they experience first hand what humans are doing to the nature. They decide to be proactive and start educating the humans on environmental protection and sustainability. Be sure to follow them on their adventures in Iceland's nature where they run around the great Lava fields in extreme contrasts under the Northern Lights around volcanoes, earthquakes, storms and much more. Meet their friends, the Raven, Polar Bear, Puffin or the Elves that guide them and the Trolls that protect them from all evil.

A big group of women creating together - for themselves, for someone they love, or just for the fun of it! 🥰

The laughter, the creativity, the energy… it really doesn’t get much better than this! ❤️
We LOVE welcoming big groups to our larger workshop location in Garðabær, where we can accommodate groups of up to 50 people at a time! 🙌
Perfect for friends, work groups, celebrations… or simply an excuse to get together, get creative and make some Skrímsli magic! ✨👀

We have reached our favourite season in Iceland! 😍🍂

Late August and September bring beautiful days, crisp air, cozy evenings… and sometimes even the Northern Lights dancing above us! ✨💚

And then there’s berry season! 🫐😋 We might just have to write a whole blog post about that, because right now Icelandic nature is giving us the most delicious blueberries and crowberries!

Meanwhile, the Wool Monster Workshop has been busy as ever, with lots of wonderful little Skrimslis coming to life. 🥰

Here are some great moments from our latest workshops! 👹💕

A lot of new cuddly little friends were born this weekend! 🥰❤️
And they’re already off on some pretty exciting adventures! ✈️🌍 Some will be travelling to Taiwan with a pair of newlyweds ❤️💍, while others are heading to Austria, Canada, the USA and Italy! 🇦🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇮🇹
We just love thinking about all these little wool monsters finding new homes around the world! 🥹💕

Wow… the workshops we’ve had these past couple of days! 😍🌍

We’ve had workshops at our beach location AND big groups at our larger location - meeting amazing guests from USA, Egypt, Italy, Russia, UK, Ireland, Germany, Canada, Hong Kong, Iceland (OF COURSE! 🇮🇸😂), Scotland and Mexico!

And the monsters! 🤣 A puffin monster, moustaches, twin monsters, teeth, eyebrows… and today was apparently the day of the TWO-FACED MONSTERS! 👀👀😂

But the best part? The people. ❤️ We truly feel like we get the cream of Iceland tourism walking through our doors. We laugh, talk, connect and have SO much fun with our guests.
They truly are the best! 🥰

And thank you for all your beautiful rviews that came flying in 🙏

We can’t believe we’re already halfway through August! 😱☀️ Summer really does fly by when the workshop is this busy!

Here are just a few of the wonderful new wool monster babies that have been born lately — together with their very proud creators! 🥰

Apparently, some of the little monsters decided they needed a bit of pampering after the whole being born experience and headed straight to the Blue Lagoon for a relaxing retreat! 😂♨️💙

And as if that wasn’t magical enough… yesterday we saw the first Northern Lights of the season dancing over our workshop! 💚✨ Summer may be slowly slipping away, but Iceland is already giving us something beautiful to look forward to.

What an amazing time of year to create a little Icelandic wool monster of your own! 🇮🇸🧶
