Heron - Fine Norwegian Wool

Made from 100% fine Norwegian wool from the sheep’s very first shearing.

The fibers are short, giving us a finer and softer yarn. The outcome is thin, light and soft garments, while maintaining the brilliance, crimp and longevity for which Norwegian wool is world renowned.

Norwegian wool is one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibers, due to the sheep’s natural mountain life. Our Norwegian wool comes from sheep known for roaming freely in the vast Norwegian hillsides while grazing in natural pastures.

To make it machine washable the Heron yarn undergoes a revolutionary new wool treatment using natural non-toxic salts. Machine wash using wool-cycle. (Fiber diameter: 30.5 micron)

The Freja rune on the sleeves is connected to love and beauty, but also to witchcraft and war. Two other runes interlocks with the Freja rune and balances it out: one is for love, the other for eternity. The Ægishjalmur rune on the sleeves is said to make your enemies fear you, but also to prevent misuse of power. The back is adorned with Yggdrasil, the evergreen “World Tree” from Norse mythology, with branches extending into the heavens and roots stretching into the underworlds. Since this tree is holding up the whole world, the world’s health is dependent on the wellbeing of the Yggdrasil.

The sweater is named after the mythological hero Sigurd Fåvnesbane who killed the dragon Fáfnir (Fåvne) in the Volsunge Saga.
