Design Notes
Sea Blue brings a fresh, energetic backdrop to the Highland sweater's traditional Nordic pattern, while soft pink shades gradually shift through the cotton-knit design. The unexpected color pairing feels artistic and modern, with just a hint of retro ski-chalet charm.
Airy alpaca yarn creates a fluffy, luxurious texture, contrasting beautifully with the smoother cotton pattern. Together, the changing colors and knit surfaces give this sweater its distinctive, almost three-dimensional character.
History
The Highland sweater is a reimagining of Dale of Norway's iconic sweater design from the 1989 World Championships, preserving its recognizable pattern while introducing a fresh approach to color, fit, and materials.
This contemporary interpretation connects the brand's sporting knitwear heritage with modern Scandinavian fashion, proving that a classic design can still have a wonderfully adventurous side.
In Norwegian, highland translates to “høyland”.
