When Koigu Wool Designs first began, Maie and Taiu Landra
sold sweaters handknit out of our own sheep’s wool at local
markets. We are bringing back 10 of these classic colourwork
sweaters designed by Koigu co-founder, Maie Landra, in the 80s
and 90s. Featuring traditional Estonian knitwear motifs in
bottom-up, seamed charted sweater patterns.

GARLAND SWEATER
Inspired by Harjumaa, a historical region in northern Estonia
(including Tallinn), knitting patterns from this area are known for
their geometric symbolism. These patterns, often found in neutral palettes of black, white, grey, and natural wool tones, were highly valued for their symmetry, clarity, and protective symbolism.
