Details
Myking’s distinctive yarn is made by blowing merino fibers around a thin polyamide core. The result is a thick, airy knit that provides substantial warmth and texture while remaining surprisingly light.
A regular fit and French shoulders create an easy silhouette, while the high quarter-zip neck adds extra coverage when temperatures drop.
Design Notes
Myking gives traditional Norwegian knitwear a playful retro streak. The iconic eight-petal rose is reimagined in a bold pattern, while Navy, Off White, and Light Charcoal create a crisp Nordic palette that feels classic rather than costume-y.
Its lofty texture adds depth and definition to the pattern, giving the sweater much of the character of a hand-knit piece.
History
Myking takes its name from a parish just north of Bergen on Norway’s western coast. The name traces to the Old Norse word mykr, associated with fertile ground.
It can also be interpreted as “softie,” an unusually appropriate nickname for a sweater built around such a plush feel.
