“To everyone else it looks like a nicely designed hat, but to me it’s even more special because I know I’m wearing a one-off piece that was made with care.”
— Jakob Schiller / Outside Magazine
The Eastfold's angular knitting pattern brings to mind the agular design language of the Vikings, and it's name is inspired by the ancient Foldin — the old name for the Oslo Fjord.
Every single cap you buy from us is hand knit on the Norwegian South Coast — the slow, meticulous way.
Our hundreds of positive reviews came by putting you first. Aside from crafting an excellent product, that means Free Shipping, 60-Day Returns, and 10-Years Warranty.
*You pay for return shipping. Limited warranty covers the hat unravelling under reasonable use.
Aside from the skillfully executed crosshatch knit, the Merino wool is the core of the product.
The yarn in this model is 100% Merino wool sourced from Australia and processed on the Norwegian West Coast. Merino wool is from a special breed of sheep that produces particularly fine grains — making it the softest among our non-itchy beanies.
We're also working with a yarn mill that has stated to me in conversation that "quality wool comes from well treated sheep." The yarn mill has ensured me the sheep are not mulesed.
Coming in right between our thinnest (the Southlander) and our thickest (the Westcoaster) beanie, the Eastfold is made with every season except high summer in mind. Spring and fall is perfect, but it also holds far below freezing. It has quite a lot of length, making folds across your ears nice and snug, while the double-fold above the ear still looks great.
When I hiked Besseggen in May, and snow still lay in patches across the mountains, this was the beanie I chose to bring along.
Norway's rich knitting culture gives us an overflow of hobby-knitters. We have been able to create an outlet where they can earn a side income from their time spent knitting.
We cover everything, even down to accounting, so they can just knit as they've always done — now with an additional income. That is why we say, the only way to get closer to Norwegian knitting culture is to travel here yourself and make a friend who can knit.
