Ladies round neck sweater

It's not just the classic Norwegian Varde pattern that runs across the circular knitted shoulder yoke that makes this sweater so special, but also the material. Rauma knits it from pure Norwegian wool, which offers a good balance between functionality and comfort thanks to its durability, resilience and elasticity. At the same time, the Norwegian wool gives it wonderful warming and temperature-regulating properties, as the wool fibers are highly crimped and can therefore trap a lot of air, which provides effective insulation. Rib-knitted cuffs finish the neck, sleeves and body.

Among knitters, it is the address for high-quality knitting yarns made from Norwegian wool: Rauma Ullvarefabrikk. Founded in 1927 by Erling Digernes in the Romsdalen Valley in western Norway, the company is now the leading Norwegian manufacturer of handmade wool and one of the most important yarn suppliers for specialist retailers. And the high-quality Rauma yarn is no longer an insider tip outside Norway either. Rauma obtains the raw wool for the yarns from Norilia, a subsidiary of the Norwegian agricultural cooperative Nortura: it works closely with the local groups of the Norwegian Sheep and Goat Breeders' Association (NSG) to collect the wool from the breeding farms. This ensures short distances within the manufacturing process. Norwegian wool is known for its durability, luster and elasticity. As the climate in Norway is extremely harsh and the sheep live outside all year round, they have developed a dense coat with fine, crimped wool fibers, which insulates particularly well against the cold and has excellent heat-regulating properties. In addition, the extreme climatic conditions ensure that the wool remains free of parasites, so there is no need for chemical treatment after shearing. In addition to yarns, Rauma has also been producing its own collections of pure Norwegian wool for several years - with traditional Norwegian and modern knitting patterns. The knitwear is produced at Rauma Ullvarefabrikk, from the yarn to the finished garment.
