This cardigan is knitted with Njord yarn made from 100% fine Norwegian wool, sourced 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 Njord yarn undergoes a revolutionary new wool treatment using natural non-toxic salts. Machine wash using wool-cycle  

The name Lusa is derived from the Norwegian word “lusemønster,” meaning lice pattern, famously featured in the traditional lusekofta (our Setesdal garments). These garments are adorned with the iconic lice pattern, a hallmark of Norwegian knitwear.
