Details:
The Lusa Blanket measures 49 x 67 inches, giving you plenty of woolly real estate for curling up on the sofa or adding warmth at the foot of a bed. It's knitted from 100% fine Norwegian wool in a single Sand Melange shade, allowing the texture of the knit itself to become the star. The structured surface gives this otherwise minimalist blanket plenty of dimension and character.
Design Notes:
Lusa is a study in what happens when you take color away and let texture do the talking. Rather than relying on contrast, the single-color Sand Melange knit uses pattern, light, and shadow to reveal its design. The result feels calm from across the room and beautifully detailed up close.
The pattern is reimagined from the Dale of Norway Lusa cardigan and traces its roots even further back to traditional Norwegian knitwear. That heritage gives the blanket an authentic Nordic character, while its tonal palette feels completely at home in contemporary interiors.
Drape it casually over a sofa, fold it across the bed, or keep it within arm's reach of your favorite chair. Lusa brings warmth to a room even before you wrap yourself in it.
History:
The name Lusa comes from the Norwegian word lusemønster, or "lice pattern," referring to the tiny repeating stitches traditionally scattered across Norwegian knitted garments. The motif is famously associated with the lusekofte and traditional Setesdal knitwear, where the small stitches became one of the most recognizable details of Norwegian knitting.
For the Lusa Blanket, Dale of Norway reinterprets this familiar textile tradition through a refined, tonal design derived from the Lusa cardigan. It's a fitting example of the Home Collection's purpose: taking the patterns and character of Norwegian knitwear beyond clothing and giving them a new life in the home.
