She also introduces us to the Faroe Island wool and sheep industry and gives insights on how the label empowers women.About Gudrun and GudrunGudrun and Gudrun is a knitwear company specialised in hand-knit. The company was founded in 2002 by two Faroese women and the creative process of design is very closely linked to the isolation of the place. The vision of the company is to make a difference, something very simple and yet very ambitious. The knitwear label wants to make clothes that meet the standards of conscious customers who care about each other, the environment, our common natural resources and who yet want to be stylish. The hand-knitted collections are made in the homes of female knitters on the Faroe Islands, Jordan and Peru as part of a women's empowerment project. The Faroe Islands are 18 tiny islands situated in the North Atlantic, between Iceland and Norway. Only 45,000 people live on the islands. Still, it is a nation of its own culture and own language.
