Heron - Fine Norwegian Wool
Made from 100% fine Norwegian wool from the sheep’s very first shearing.
The fibers are short, giving us a finer and softer yarn. The outcome is thin, light and soft garments, while maintaining the brilliance, crimp and longevity for which Norwegian wool is world renowned.
Norwegian wool is one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibers, due to the sheep’s natural mountain life. Our Norwegian wool comes from sheep known for roaming freely in the vast Norwegian hillsides while grazing in natural pastures.
To make it machine washable the Heron yarn undergoes a revolutionary new wool treatment using natural non-toxic salts. Machine wash using wool-cycle.
A beautiful unisex sweater with a design inspired by the world famous Oseberg ship of the Viking Era. The Oseberg ship was built in 820 AD and buried in a large Viking burial mound in 834 AD. The ship was excavated in 1904. It turned out to be the most beautiful Viking tomb ever found. In the ship a woven tapestry showing five Viking warriors was found. These five Vikings also appear on this sweater, surrounded by old rune letters, citing a poem from the Viking Era. The jacquard on the upper half of the body takes its pattern from a cart (wagon) with beautifully detailed carvings found inside the Oseberg ship. “Hodur” means warrior in old Norwegian and is also the name of the Norse god Balder’s blind brother.
The Hodur sweater comes in 3 color ranges, all inspired by colors used in the Viking Era. The sweater is made of 100% fine Norwegian wool from the sheep’s very first shearing. The short fibers of the wool make the yarn finer and softer, giving us a light, warm and comfortable sweater. The neck is lined with skin soft merino-wool.
