Information
The Trollholmen Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater made in Viking Alpaca Bris. Its distinctive Nordic inspired stranded colourwork yoke gives the sweater a timeless character, while the soft alpaca blend creates a lightweight, warm and exceptionally comfortable garment.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. The airy fabric makes it perfect for everyday wear as well as cooler outdoor days throughout much of the year. It pairs equally well with jeans, outdoor clothing or skirts, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
The sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colour combinations beyond those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like a different colour combination or have any questions about delivery times.

BOTTOM-UP VERSION
This version begins with the body, followed by the sleeves. All pieces are then joined together, and the raglan yoke is worked. The sweater is finished with the neckline.
The 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.
