Traditional Make

Knitted the Old Fashioned Way

The Southlander is made with a classic rib-knit, and derives its look from the make.

We make every single one in homes on the South Coast of Norway, and stick to the 400 year old recipe:

  • Two knitting needles
  • A thread of yarn
  • A skill honed with years of usage
  • A whole lot of patience

The Wonders of Wool

Norwegians have sworn to wool from ancient times — all the way until today.

Wool is praised for:

  • Its ability to draw moisture away from the skin, leaving you warm and nice despite the conditions
  • Nearness to nature — you can’t find a fabric more shaped by the elements
  • Shearing doesn’t harm its producer, the sheep

Comfort Comes First

Itch Free Wool

Nudged by my Mom's long experience, we opted for South American raw wool, processed on the Norwegian West Coast. The wool is softer than its Norwegian counterpart, so we put your comfort before our brand image, in this case.

Versatile Style

Fold-as-you-will

Due to how the beanie is made — in one long piece — we opted for the old fashioned tagless experience. There is no brand or markings on the beanie itself.

This enables you to fold it as you will — once (the Classic), twice (the Fisherman Beanie), or many other options.

How About a Little More Backstory?

When we first designed the Southlander, we didn’t plan on starting a beanie company. . .

We were making MY OWN dream beanie.

This design is what we renamed to “the Southlander” once we established our company.
