Product Description
Lausavisa is a traditional yoked jumper worked from the bottom-up. It uses a near-seamless construction which means minimal finishing is required.
Worked in a bulky Icelandic yarn, the jumper is a modern interpretation of the lopapeysa-style garment found in Iceland.
The heavily patterned yoke uses four colours in a pattern reminiscent of mid-century modern Nordic pottery and has an on-trend 1970s vibe. However, the patterned yoke never uses more than two colours per row, making the colourwork achievable by most knitters.
The jumper is designed to be worn as a layering garment. It is a warm and cosy knit, perfect for chilly nights and long hikes.
