Information
Bjarkan Sweater is a hand knitted Nordic sweater inspired by Norse tradition. Named after the Bjarkan rune, it features timeless stranded colourwork that makes it equally at home in the mountains, by the sea or in everyday life.
Each Bjarkan Sweater is hand knitted to order using Rauma Finull and DROPS Kid Silk. The blend of Norwegian wool, mohair and silk creates a sweater that is warm, soft, lightweight and made to last. Bjarkan is also available in a chunky version.
Bjarkan Sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colours in addition to those shown in the shop. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like different colours, custom measurements or have any questions about sizing or delivery times.
