Klipsan

Inspired by traditional Scandinavian knitting, the Klipsan Sweater features a classic Selburose motif, a beloved Nordic star pattern with a long history in textile design. Worked across the yoke, the repeating motif creates a beautiful contrast of pattern and texture, giving this timeless silhouette its distinctive character.

Named for the setting sun, Klipsan takes its inspiration from the quiet beauty of the Pacific Northwest coast, where this sweater was photographed in a small fishing village. The name evokes the changing light over the water and the natural beauty of a landscape shaped by the sea.

Rooted in traditional knitting techniques yet designed for everyday wear, Klipsan brings together heritage-inspired colorwork and the comfort of a favorite sweater. It's an inviting, versatile piece made to be worn and loved throughout the colder months.
