Shield maidens were ferocious female Viking warriors that were vibrantly described in many Norse sagas.Until recently, shield maidens were largely considered mythical; however, a 2017 DNA analysis confirmed that a body found buried along with several weapons and horses was in fact female.
I’ve always found inspiration in strong female figures. Shield Maiden is a circular yoke, fingering weight, 3⁄4 length sleeve sweater designed to feature a stitch based on the Norse rune that represents these exceptional women.
