Dale of Norway Cortina Heron Raspberry/Off White UNI Ski Beanie

The pattern design is taken from original 1956 Cortina sweater – the first ever Olympic sweater made for the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo. This pattern captures the very essence of Norwegian tradition and has become one of Norway’s most beloved patterns. All knitted together into a hat with a young fit and vibe. The Cortina hat is made of 100 % fine Norwegian wool. This yarn offers incredibly lightness and a unique, crisp look. By selecting the finest wool from the sheep's very first shearing, the fibers are short, giving us a finer and softer yarn with. The outcome is a thin, light and soft hat, while maintaining the brilliance, crimp and longevity for which Norwegian wool is world renowned. For extra comfort, the inside is knitted with soft merino wool. 100 % fine Norwegian wool Rib knit with skin soft merino wool on the inside Designed and knitted in Norway Machine wash using wool-cycle 100 % natural wool Due to its exceptional properties that no synthetic fibers can match, wool is back in fashion. Wool is nature’s own ''high-tech'' fiber. It has great insulating abilities, it breathes and wicks moisture away from the body, is odor resistant – and it is a completely natural fiber! Our collections are designed with different types of wool adapted to each product. Over the past 140 years we have fine-tuned our knitting techniques, making garments with superior long-lasting qualities. Norwegian wool The Norwegian wool is known for its exceptional long-lasting quality and crisp, appealing look. This makes it excellent for durable mid- and outer-layer knitwear. Norwegian wool is one of the world’s most eco- and animal-friendly textile fibers, due to the sheep’s natural mountain life. Our Norwegian wool comes from the “dalasau” (valley sheep”), known for roaming freely in the vast Norwegian hillsides while grazing in natural pastures. Merino wool Our merino wool is of the highest quality with a certified animal-friendly origin. These lightweight and soft garments can be worn next to skin without discomfort, ideal for year-round use. And, of course, our merino wool is mulesing free.

History The village of Dale is nestled between steep mountains, waterfalls and fjords on the west coast of Norway. In 1872, Peder Jebsen travelled through the small village of Dale, located close to the city of Bergen. He recognized Dale as an ideal place to establish a premium textile production facility utilizing the valley’s potential for natural hydro power, the easy access to Norwegian wool and strong knitting traditions. Peder Jebsen secured the rights to the local waterfalls and soon thereafter, steamboats loaded with new machines from England arrived in Dale. The Dale of Norway textile facility was completed in 1879 and has remained active in the village of Dale ever since. From the beginning, the focus was set on crafting premium wool qualities. We quickly grew to be the largest employer in the region. Skilled knitters and artisans joined our company, often followed by their family members. Subsequently, this experience and expertise was passed on to the next generation. Being one of the very few textile companies with production in Norway, we are able to pay close attention to every stage of the production. This ensures premium quality in every garment – a Dale of Norway trademark since 1879.
