Details
The Myking sweater gets its distinctive volume from an exclusive yarn that uses air to wrap merino fibers around a thin polyamide core. This creates a thick, airy knit with substantial warmth and texture, but without the weight normally associated with chunky wool sweaters.
A regular fit and French shoulders keep the silhouette relaxed, while the high quarter-zip neck adds adjustable coverage for colder days.
Design Notes
Traditional Norwegian pattern gets a warmer, more rugged personality in Black, Off White, and Brown Melange. The iconic eight-petal rose is reworked with a retro influence, while the earthy palette gives the sweater a natural connection to mountains, cabins, and Scandinavian outdoor life.
The lofty yarn gives the pattern extra dimension and a wonderfully tactile, almost hand-knitted character. It looks substantial, feels luxurious, and has just enough retro energy to keep things interesting.
History
Myking takes its name from a parish just north of Bergen on Norway’s western coast. Its name traces to the Old Norse word mykr, associated with fertile ground and the landscape.
Myking can also be interpreted as “softie,” which happens to be a rather excellent description of this unusually plush knit.
