Details:
Seagull – lightweight wool: Our 100% lightweight yarn from South American crossbred
sheep, produced exclusively for Dale of Norway, is ideal for traditional medium weight
garments that call for a lighter and softer feel. To make the yarn machine washable, it
undergoes the innovative EXP treatment, which uses natural, non-toxic salts. (Fiber
diameter: 27 micron). Can be machine washed on a wool cycle.

History:
The moss stitch reflects the landscapes of Norway, while the cable knit – long
associated with strength and good fortune – showcases the quality and durability of the
yarn. The honeycomb pattern symbolizes the rewards of hard work and perseverance,
adding depth and character to the design.

Jordalen is a sheltered mountain valley on the edge of the Nærøyfjord World Heritage
Area, home to a small but vibrant local community. Many of the residents are farmers
who have long relied on the valley’s fertile pastures and the surrounding highlands for
grazing livestock.

The name Jordalen likely originates from an Old Norse word for livestock, a reminder of
how deeply tied the valley’s identity is to its pastoral heritage and the enduring
importance of seasonal farming in the region.
