- YARN KITS VOL.2
LinkaWear ™ are ready-made Wilderness Sweaters, created with timelessness, durability and comfort in mind, and with consideration for nature and the environment. I want my designs to fit everyone equally – whether your adventures are big or small, or whether you most want to stay warm.
Shadowfax is inspired by fairy tales, myths and Midgard – the realm of humans in Norse mythology. I have created a simple and stylish design that still carries the magic that you recognize from the fairy tale world. The sweater is named after Skuggfax, the most powerful horse in all of Midgard. As chieftain of Mearas, he was no ordinary horse – but fearless, lightning fast and wise, and the only horse that carried Gandalf of his own free will. Skuggfax could not be tamed with a saddle or bridle, and according to Tolkien, he understood the language of humans.
The design differs from many of my other patterns by using only two colors. This gives the sweater a calm and elegant expression, while being very easy to wear, and perfect with hats and scarves in both strong and muted colors. The result is a sweater that is just as suitable for everyday wear as for going out and cuddling.
Although the sweater is finished, the pattern is inspired by traditional and technical knitting. I hope it will appeal to both knitters and non-knitters: you get a complex look without assembly or long knitting hours. This is a sweater made for everyone, not just horse people (although they will probably love it even more!).
Shadowfax is a tribute to adventure, freedom and strength, in a form that is easy to use and hard not to love!
PS: if you would rather knit Shadowfax yourself, you can find the pattern HERE .
I designed this sweater together with adventurer Monica Hundseid . We wanted to create something inspired by traditional Norwegian knitting and the hardworking people who have used it throughout history. The checkered pattern has a long history in Norway, and is part of the traditional Norwegian patterns that have been knitted in countless variations over the years. This is our version.
The LinkaWear™ 100% wool moa sweater looks and feels like hand-knitting. It's very airy and therefore great for wearing during physical activity. And it's just as nice to wear in everyday life, or when you just want to enjoy a quiet and comfortable moment.
The Moagenseren was first published as a knitting pattern in 2023 and quickly became popular. If you would rather knit the Moagenseren yourself, you can find the polar variant HERE and the standard thickness HERE. Knitting patterns for children can be found HERE
Monica has given the name to Moagenseren. Ever since childhood, she has chosen active days outdoors – often on trips in Alaska, Canada and Nepal, in the high mountains, or deep in the deep forests. Preferably with a dog sled in front, or with skis on her legs.
"The dream of the trip is to become one with nature and the culture you are in. It is neither the peak nor the distance from A to B that is the goal itself. Finding peace and enjoying the value of being outdoors and having the body function with the mind is one of the greatest things one can experience. Meeting people, different cultures, learning from different traditions and of course the experience together with animals. I love animals, so being able to share moments, great experiences on short or long trips is very dear to my heart."
LinkaWear™ is designed with love in Norway by me, Linka Neumann, and ethically produced by skilled women in Nepal. I am first and foremost a knitwear designer with a big heart for needlework, and my knitting patterns hopefully give many people the opportunity to make and wear good quality knitwear.
My dream has always been to make good wool sweaters and knitwear available to everyone. A patterned wool garment is not only warm, breathable and comfortable; it also says something about who you are. Wool is also one of the most environmentally friendly fibers you can use.
My machine-knitted garments in LinkaWear™ are a silent fight against fast fashion and clothing made from plastic fibers. Wilderness sweaters from LinkaWear™ are created with love, ready to accompany you on your adventures and everyday life!
