Dale of Norway Setesdal Lusekofte Unisex Sweater

The Setesdal design is Norway’s most famous pattern. This is the original "lusekofte," knitted in 100% Norwegian wool, with Norwegian-made pewter clasps and woven bands, identical to the original design. The wool sweater features the well-known "luse" pattern and traditional crosses, which were originally knitted in to protect against evil spirits. The Setesdal sweater in the beige colorway (M00) is made from 100% premium undyed lightweight wool, utilizing the natural colors of the animal fiber with unique shades ranging from darker to lighter tones. This approach not only highlights the beauty of the wool in its most authentic form but also preserves its natural qualities by eliminating the dyeing process, resulting in a garment that is as natural as it is stylish. The Setesdal sweater in off white and black colorways (A and F) are made of 100% Norwegian wool, which is known for its warmth, breathability, and durability. The Norwegian wool comes from sheep that have adapted to the challenging weather conditions in Norway, and the fibers are especially well-suited for regulating body temperature and protecting against the cold. The wool is naturally moisture-wicking and has a unique ability to insulate. Norwegian wool is an important element in preserving traditional Norwegian craftsmanship, and the wool used in the Setesdal sweater is carefully selected to ensure high quality and durability. This unisex garment is made with measurements corresponding men’s sizes. For women’s sizes select one size smaller than your usual size.
