Information
The Torsø Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater made in Viking Wool featuring striking Nordic colourwork and a high neckline finished with a decorative I-cord edge. The elegant pattern and classic colour combination create a timeless Scandinavian style suitable for both everyday wear and outdoor adventures.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. Viking Wool is a soft and durable Highland merino wool yarn that provides warmth, comfort and long lasting wear. The raglan construction ensures a comfortable fit and excellent freedom of movement, while the high neck offers additional warmth in colder weather.
The sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colour combinations in addition to those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like different colours or have any questions about delivery times.

Knitting the Torsø sweater
The Torsø sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan decreases. This method involves starting at the hem of the body and sleeves and joining them together to work the yoke seamlessly in the round. This approach minimises finishing work and creates a smooth, cohesive garment.
