Dale of Norway - Torridal Sweater
Steel/Off White (96171-H00)
Details:
The Torridal sweater is where timeless tradition meets contemporary design. Inspired by classic Setesdal garments, this updated take on the iconic Lusekofta style blends heritage with a clean, modern aesthetic. Featuring elegant patterned details along the yoke and hemline, the Torridal Sweater stands out with its refined simplicity—deliberately omitting the traditional “lice” pattern for a fresh, versatile look. The ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem are accented with a subtle stripe effect, adding visual interest and structure.
The Torridal Sweater is designed with a relaxed, comfortable fit, and is crafted from authentic Norwegian wool, known for its warmth, durability, and breathable comfort—ideal for both everyday wear and chilly adventures.
Design Notes:
Long ago, Norwegian sweaters were knitted with a simple white base that was often tucked into pants, making intricate patterns at the bottom unnecessary due to the high cost of patterned knitting. The Torridal honors this tradition by keeping the classic white field at the bottom but enriching it with the original Setesdal pattern, where the crosses were historically believed to protect against evil spirits. Staying true to the original
Setesdal pattern, the Torridal sweater preserves the authentic craftsmanship and timeless charm of traditional Norwegian knitting.
Torridal is a picturesque valley in southern Norway, through which the Otra River flows, originating in Setesdal. (The Torridal sweater is inspired by the classic Setesdal garments).
