DALE OF NORWAY

Dale is a small village in Western Norway surrounded by towering mountains. In 1879 Peter Jebsen saw the possibilities provided by the village's natural waterfall on the Dale river, and founded a textile mill, later known as "Dale of Norway". Ever since 1879 Dale of Norway has been producing high quality products. Today they are the largest manufacturer of traditional Norwegian knitwear.

Dale of Norway remains close to nature, and utilises pure new Norwegian wool as the main constituent of its high quality knitwear. In the Dale factory, the wool is processed through every stage of production. They buy the raw wool, wash it in clear mountain water and spin it into strong, stable yarn that they make into exclusive knitwear. For 120 years Dale of Norway has emphasised the importance of controlling every step of the production process, ensuring the high standard of quality for wich Dale of Norway's knitwear is known for.

Their knitwear is created using traditional Norwegian patterns and designs, combined with details and coloring taken from modern influences.
