ULVANG

Feral Sweater

DESIGN: Ulvang

CATEGORY: APPAREL

 

PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES

Together with the Norwegian spinner Hillesvaag Ullvarefabrikk Ulvang developed Norway’s first commercial sweater made from 100% Norwegian Old Norse sheep. This yarn has previously only been used for hand knitting.

INTENDED SPECIFIC END USE

A sweater made of 100% wool and therefore an extremely warm sweater that can be used as both a mid-layer or an outer jacket.

SPECIFIC FEATURES

Since the wool is undyed there might be some colour variations, but that only makes each sweater unique. The whole sweater is made of 100% merino wool which makes it very warm and durable. Feral Sweater has a high collar to protect you from the cold and the half-zip makes it easy to take on and off.

SUSTAINABILITY INFORMATION

Made from 100% Norwegian Old Norse sheep. Old Norse sheep live outdoors throughout the year and are mainly found in the west side of Norway, not so far from the spinner. The yarn is a seasonal raw material and only available in smaller quantities. There is a mix of finer and coarser wool from the same sheep, which makes it as natural as any yarn can be.
