A beautiful unisex sweater with a design inspired by the world famous Oseberg ship from the Viking Age. The Oseberg ship was built in 820 AD and buried in a large Viking burial mound in 834 AD. The ship was excavated again in 1904. It turned out to be the most beautiful Viking grave ever found. A woven tapestry was found in the ship showing five Viking warriors. These five Vikings also appear on this sweater, surrounded by ancient runic letters quoting a poem from the Viking Age. The jacquard on the top half of the body takes its pattern from a cart (wagon) with beautifully detailed carvings found inside the Oseberg ship. The Hodur sweater has Norwegian-made pewter clasps and Viking-inspired braids adorning the neck. "Hodur" means "warrior" in Old Norwegian and is also the name of the blind brother of the Norse god Balder.
The Hodur sweater is available in 3 color ranges, all inspired by the colors used in the Viking Age. The sweater is made of 100% fine Norwegian wool from the very first shearing of the sheep. 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.
Norwegian wool is one of the most animal-friendly textile fibers in the world. Our wool comes from the "dalasau" ("valley sheep"), known to roam freely on the vast Norwegian slopes and graze on natural pastures. A revolutionary new wool treatment with natural, non-toxic salts makes this jacket soft and machine washable.
