The Heavy Wool Sweater

2 400 NOK

Our heavy wool sweater is a ribbed crewneck with raglan sleeves, drawn from the classic fisherman sweater. The loose-fit silhouette is warm and chunky without restriction, thanks to seamless knitting that moves with the body.

Made from a 50/50 virgin and recycled wool blend by Millefilli, Italy, and knitted in Portugal. Available in up to three lengths.

Review - The Heavy Wool Sweater
Honestly, it’s a beautiful product. The knit is thick, yet the material remains breathable, so you don’t get too warm in heated rooms as long as there is some air circulation, while still keeping you warm outdoors. It has a lovely “cocooning” feel that I really appreciate and, overall, I think it looks great. However, I did encounter a small issue during the second week of wearing it. It’s nothing too serious, and I was partly responsible, but I thought it was worth mentioning. While putting the sweater on, my elbow pressed against the seam where the front panel meets the left sleeve, around the armpit area. The stitches gave way, creating quite a large hole, about 4 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter. It wasn’t a major problem—my seamstress repaired it quickly and neatly—but it is something worth being aware of. I was quite surprised that the stitches broke rather than simply stretching or deforming under the pressure. Thank you, and see you soon. Despite this, I remain very satisfied with the brand.

I have the old version
I have the old version of the heavy wool sweater and was very excited about the black new version. Unfortunately, I feel like the overall fit has gotten worse, it feels baggy around the waist and doesn’t drape nicely. It used to be one of my favorite Asket products but the new version doesn’t convince me - plus it got much more expensive. I returned it.

Absolutely nice Sweater, I already
Absolutely nice Sweater, I already have a grey one, I think I wore it the whole winter season almost everyday. Only malus: Usually the XL Long fits me very well, troughout the other products, but with the heavy wool sweater the Sleeves could be slightly longer, only 1-2 cm.

How to take care of wool

Most of us have probably ruined a sweater or two in our garment care career and caring for wool has a bad rep for being a hassle. We respectfully disagree. Wool care is misunderstood. In general, wool garments require much less care, the garment practically takes care of itself because of the inherent qualities of wool. Sure, if you do need to wash the whole piece, it needs some extra attention, but that’s exactly what we’ll guide you through in this section - there’s nothing to fear.
