Ull, which is pronounced a little differently than you might expect is the Icelandic word for wool.
The double ll sound is the same as in the name: Eyjafjallajökoll
Wool is the raw material for a special garment: the Íslensk Lopapeysa.
This is the traditional hand knitted Icelandic sweater
The term ‘Icelandic sweater’ (Icelandic: íslensk lopapeysa) is now a legally protected product name, having received a Designation of Origin status on March the 10th 2020 from the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority. The Icelandic hand-knitted wool sweater is a traditional Icelandic garment. By receiving a Designation of Origin, the sweater becomes the second product name to receive such legal protection in Icelandic, following in the wake of Icelandic lamb meat.

I've decided the next time I'm in Iceland, I'm going to treat myself to one.
Recommendations for a good place to buy one welcome.
