Hodur unisex sweater

A beautiful unisex sweater inspired by the world famous Oseberg ship of the Viking Era, found in a large Viking burial mound from 834 AD. Inside the ship a woven tapestry was found, showing five Viking warriors. These five Vikings appear on this sweater, surrounded by old rune letters, citing a poem from the Viking Era. The upper half of the body takes its pattern from a cart found inside the ship. The Hodur sweater has Norwegian-made pewter clasps and Viking inspired braids adorning the neck. “Hodur” means warrior in old Norwegian and is also the name of the Norse god Balder’s blind brother.

With colors inspired by the Viking Era, this sweater is made of 100% fine Norwegian wool from the sheep’s very first shearing. The short fibers of the wool make the yarn finer and softer, giving us a light, warm and comfortable sweater. The neck is lined with skin soft merino-wool.

A beautiful unisex sweater with a design inspired by the world famous Oseberg ship of the Viking Era. The Oseberg ship was built in 820 AD and buried in a large Viking burial mound in 834 AD. The ship was excavated in 1904. It turned out to be the most beautiful Viking tomb ever found. In the ship a woven tapestry showing five Viking warriors was found. These five Vikings also appear on this sweater, surrounded by old rune letters, citing a poem from the Viking Era. The jacquard on the upper half of the body takes its pattern from a cart (wagon) with beautifully detailed carvings found inside the Oseberg ship. The Hodur sweater has Norwegian-made pewter clasps and Viking inspired braids adorning the neck. “Hodur” means warrior in old Norwegian and is also the name of the Norse god Balder’s blind brother.

The Hodur sweater comes in 3 color ranges, all inspired by colors used in the Viking Era. The sweater is made of 100% fine Norwegian wool from the sheep’s very first shearing. The short fibers of the wool make the yarn finer and softer, giving us a light, warm and comfortable sweater. The neck is lined with skin soft merino-wool.

Norwegian wool is one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibers. Our wool comes from the “dalasau” (“valley sheep”), known for roaming freely in the vast Norwegian hillsides while grazing in natural pastures. A revolutionary new wool treatment using natural non-toxic salts makes this jacket soft and machine washable.
