The Eilif sweater is thick and durable, knitted from 100% Norwegian wool from sheep that graze outdoors in Hustadvika. The women’s model is made for cold days and a calm pace, around the house and on walks.
The series is named after Eilif, the man who came home wet and cold from the forest and the farm at Lyngstad, and for whom Brit knitted the first sweater in 1994. The sweater is made to be worn, worn again, and ideally handed down.
“this sweater is both warm and comfortable, and at the same time it breathes well.” – Lill-Olaug S.
- On its own on dry days, or under a shell jacket in wind and rain
- Norwegian wool is coarser than merino. If you have sensitive skin, wear a Havbris top next to the skin.
- 100% Norwegian sheep’s wool, 32 micron (the thickness of the wool fibre)
- Weight approx. 850 grams
- Logo in fish leather from spotted wolffish
- Air it rather than wash it. If needed: wool programme, max 30 °C.

The story behind Lanullva

Grandmother’s invention
Eilif came home cold and sweaty from working on the farm at Lyngstad, on Norway's harsh north-west coast. In 1994, Brit Vinje Lyngstad invented a knitting method with air knitted into every stitch – and Eilif stopped being cold.
