Overview
What's in the kit
Alasuq Polar is the original unisex Wilderness Sweater from Linka Neumann’s book Wilderness Sweaters 1 (2019) — made for outdoor people, from forest walks and mountain hikes to evenings by the fire. It is knitted in Álafosslopi, the chunky Icelandic wool known for warmth and weather resistance. This is the original colourway: light grey tweed with the yoke in burnt orange, arctic exposure, cypress green and golden heather. The Norwegian designer Linka Neumann takes her inspiration from nature and wildlife; her Scandi-style jumpers are built to keep you warm and dry whatever the weather.
Included
- Icelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
