CONSTRUCTION
The Haugvag Sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. It is
short and straight, with long sleeves and a slight raise of the back neckline. The neck, cuffs and hem are ribbed. The yoke and the bottom of the sleeves are worked in a textured colourwork.

The textured colourwork and classic fit of the sweater makes it a
comfortable and timeless garment. It is knitted in two
colorways and yarn weights — knitted with the same gauge to get
two similar but yet very different sweaters. The dark version, Natthavet (The Night Sea),colours are reminiscent of the soft dance
of moonlight over the waves. It is knitted in rustic, shiny hand-dyed Gotland wool.

The lighter version, Vinterhavet (the Winter Sea), is named after the sea on a winter day. Ice, snow and white horses. Softer, thinner and lighter in gentle Finnish wool.
