Ýrúrarí Patch

Ýr Jóhannsdóttir is a textile designer and artist from Iceland, based in Reykjavík, working under the name Ýrúrarí. Her work is mostly knitted, where fragments of humor, body movements and the everyday meets in wool based, often wearable, objects.

Each patch is inspired by one of Ýrúrarí's upcycled sweaters. The idea for the patches came from her mending workshops which focus on creatively changing and mending old sweaters and knits into characters. Taking the concept further you can now use these small sweater patches to mend or change other textiles to prolong their life!
