Welcome to NorseDesigns: Norwegian Designed Handknits

Made in Ecuador

 

Norway has a long tradition of handknit wool sweaters. The most popular of these designs is the Marius sweater. It is based upon a traditional pattern from Setesdal, Norway, that was modernized by Birgit Eriksen in the 1920's. The Marius sweater has always been a favorite of Norwegians and is today undergoing a revival in popularity. We are proud to bring a bit of Norway to you in this custom sweater made by our knitters in Ecuador. To learn more about the history of the Marius sweater, how your purchase affects our knitters in Ecuador, and the sheep wool and alpaca fibers used in our sweaters, please visit http://www.norsedesigns.com/aboutus.sc.
