Devold - Arktis | Norwegian wool sweater with round neck

Warm woolen unisex sweater

The Devold® Arktis sweater is inspired by the iconic Nansen sweater. While the Nansen is a thick and sturdy sweater, the Arktis is a softer, thinner and more versatile version of the original. Pure new wool naturally regulates temperature and breathes, and wicks moisture away from your body.

The classic Arktis sweater is knitted in a mixed color scheme, which gives the sweater a robust and trendy look. The borders and cuffs are rib knitted.

By comparing the measurements below with your own garments, you can choose the right size. The sizes are approximate sizes and measured in centimeters.

Maintenance

Wool is a great material for making clothes because it is antibacterial and odor resistant. Woolen clothing therefore does not need to be washed often. Hang the garment outside occasionally to freshen it up. If you still want to wash the garment, we recommend Texelana Wool Detergent . Never rub hard when washing by hand to prevent felting. Always look at the label in the garment for washing instructions. Always let woolen clothing lie flat to dry.

Treating your woolen garment in this way will not only make it more beautiful and last longer. By airing instead of washing you also save the environment.

Store woolen clothes

We recommend that you store your woolen clothing clean, possibly with a bag of lavender; this keeps the moths at bay. It is also best to store woolen clothing lying down, so that the elasticity of the wool is not affected.

Pills and fluff

Wool can pill or pill due to use. This has nothing to do with the quality of the wool. Pilling is a natural phenomenon that is mainly caused by friction. Wool consists of many hairs with a natural frizz (curl). Friction can cause the wool to pill and felt. When felting, the hairs join together due to friction. In fact, every movement causes friction. You often find the lint/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.

New clothing may sometimes have some loose hairs left behind after the weaving and knitting process.

Unfortunately, pills and lint on your beautiful (merino) woolen clothing cannot be prevented. We have some tips on how to delay this process somewhat and how to remove the lint and pills. For this information we would like to refer you to our blog.

Devold® Originals are warm and traditional sweaters, made from 100% pure new wool from Norwegian sheep. These sweaters were originally made for fishermen and other workers in the harsh climate along the Norwegian coast. Nowadays, the Devold sweaters are very popular and perfect to wear in cold weather. To obtain soft and well-fitting clothing, the sweaters are pre-washed.
