Norwegians have been expert knitters for centuries, a necessity in their cold climate. The Nordic sweaters and cardigans are very traditional and popular with hundreds of different designs available. Some patterns are inspired in nature (like flowers, snowflakes, or animal shapes) and some others are inspired by Norwegian folk costumes called bunads.

 This geometric design retro sweater, an vintage 80's original is made in virgin wool, and of course cozy and warm. Very comfortable and colourful, is perfect to preforms outdoor activities, like sky,  hiking or just for a casual going out during wintertime.
