I am first and foremost a knitwear designer , and needlework will always be close to my heart. I started by creating colorful knitting patterns and the Wilderness Sweater was the first. This has hopefully given many people the opportunity to make and wear good quality knitwear.

Many of us, especially here in Norway, are a bit spoiled in that we often know someone who can knit. However, this is not the case for everyone.

We have spent over two years finding exactly what we want: our goal is to produce ready-knit Wilderness sweaters that behave and look like hand-knitted ones!

That's why LinkaWear garments are not like the classic machine-knitted sweaters with very small stitches – we use thicker yarn and larger stitches. And after a few years of development, we finally received samples that were perfect!

We are proud and happy to have finally found partners who can make Wilderness Sweaters available to everyone. Our partner is a small knitting factory in Nepal, where the sweaters are knitted in 100% wool from crossbred sheep from New Zealand. The wool is stronger and coarser than, for example, merino, which makes it perfect for adventurers and Wilderness Sweaters! And of course, the wool is OEKO-TEX certified and mulesing-free.
