FISHERMAN SWEATER
from emmamalena
Are you looking for a traditional fisherman's sweater? We are constantly on the hunt and always curious about old pictures from the crews of boats. The design of a classic fisherman's sweater varies greatly from coast to coast. But we know that fishermen were inspired by each other and often bought warm sweaters from the ports they visited. Fisherman's sweaters from Käringön were knitted by family members of those who worked at sea in ancient times.

We love to dig through old patterns and look at hand-knitted garments. At the home of the mackerel fisherman Martin on Käringön, we have gained inspiration for several of our classic fisherman sweaters in the collection. It was an important task on Käringön to knit durable sweaters for the island's fishermen. All with the initials of the recipient knitted somewhere on the garment. Sleeve length was also important, preferably shorter sleeves to avoid getting wet.
The definition and basic design of what is often called a fisherman sweater varies from coast to coast and from place to place. What is often common to these sweaters is that they are knitted from wool, which in our opinion is the best material for cold days at sea, as they were primarily used as workwear by professional fishermen. We have chosen to develop some models in both wool and cotton.

HOW TO WEAR A FISHERMAN SWEATER?
The fisherman sweater makes the perfect top to pair with a well-worn pair of jeans and a pair of sturdy shoes. The key to success is often to surround a knit garment like the fisherman sweater with other garments that are also of a rougher cut, fabric, and design to create a good visual balance.

Fisherman sweater in wool
There are several reasons to choose wool for your fisherman's sweater. Here are some that we think are important:
1. A fisherman's sweater should primarily keep you warm when it's cold outside. Thanks to wool's built-in insulation properties and unique fiber structure, the material creates an insulating layer and keeps you warm even if it's wet and damp outside.
2. We work with a pure lambswool quality that is mulesing-free. The supplier is called Shoeller and we have worked together for many many years. Wool is environmentally friendly as it is a natural, renewable material that also does not require large amounts of chemicals, water or energy to produce.
3. Wool regulates temperature. During a fishing trip along the west coast during the winter months, wool is definitely preferred, but even during the summer in warm climates, the wool releases the heat from the inside.
Käringö sweater
In a fisherman's cottage on Käringön, far out in the western coast of Sweden, there is an old fisherman's sweater from the previous century. With this as a model, we have developed this garment. The Käringö sweater or Pippi sweater as it is also called has been in our collection since 2004. The pattern has been knitted extensively for several decades along the coast.
