The Vågsøy sweater is heavily inspired by the 1956 Dale of Norway Cortina sweater. This reinterpretation offers the appearance of a knitted sweater with raglan sleeves. The Vågsøy women's wool sweater is made from 100% lightweight wool, with slightly wide sleeves and a round neck lined with soft merino wool for extra comfort.
A revolutionary new treatment based on non-toxic natural salts makes the Vågsøy wool sweater soft and machine washable.
The pattern comes from the 1956 Dale of Norway Cortina sweater - the very first Dale of Norway Olympic sweater made for the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo. The Cortina pattern embodies the essence of Norwegian tradition and has become one of Norway's most popular patterns.
Vågsøy is an island on the outer coast of Nordfjorden, one of the fjords on the west coast of Norway. The island is home to the town of Måløy, one of Norway's most important fishing ports.
