Details:
The Nale (Nåle) Women's ¼ Zip Sweater has a lightweight knit structure that offers the perfect balance of warmth, breathability, and everyday versatility. It has a regular fit that layers comfortably over a base layer while also maintaining a clean, flattering silhouette. This sweater is equally at home on the ski slopes or around town. Knitted in 100% skin-soft, itch-free merino wool, it’s a versatile and highly wearable pullover designed for comfort, moving naturally from the slopes through relaxed après-ski moments and into everyday use.
Whether you're carving fresh powder, exploring a mountain village, or simply embracing cooler weather closer to home, the Nale feels equally authentic. It's the kind of sweater that becomes a favorite because it performs beautifully while carrying a story that's uniquely Norwegian.
Design Notes:
Across the chest, a bold off white eight-petal rose is centered on a horizontal “Dale 1879” band with red rose accent, creating a clear, sporty focal point tied to the brand’s founding year. Red and off white stripes run along the shoulders and sleeves, finishing with a smaller eight-petal rose at the cuff for a cohesive finish. Designed in the colors of the Norwegian flag, Nåle translates mountain heritage into a contemporary alpine expression.
History:
Nåle (“the Needle” in English) is named after one of the three summits (2,310 m a.s.l.) of the Skarstind massif. The massif’s highest peak, Skarstind (2,373 m a.s.l.), is Norway’s fifth-highest mountain – and it also lends its name to other pieces in our collection. Every detail of the Nale Women's 1/4 Zip Sweater reflects Dale of Norway's longstanding tradition of combining authentic Norwegian patterns with modern performance.
