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.

MEDALLION SWEATER
Embroidery from Muhu folk costumes is among the most iconic and vibrant in Estonian textile heritage. Translating those richly detailed medallion and symbolic motifs into knitting brings the spirit of Muhu into modern woolwork while honoring its cultural roots on this aran weight sweater.
