Information
The Torvefjorden Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater made with two strands of Dale Kidsilk Erle held together and features small cables throughout the garment. The classic cable texture and soft yarn create an elegant and timeless look.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. The blend of mohair, silk and wool creates a lightweight, warm and comfortable garment with beautiful drape. It is equally suited for everyday wear or styled with a skirt or dress and can be worn throughout much of the year.
The sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colours in addition to those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like a different colour or have any questions about delivery times.
