Sweater-SAMPLE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n  The Albertville is a chunky knit sweater crafted in 100% lightweight wool, with a relaxed fit and classic crew neck.\n  First introduced as the official team sweater for Norway at the 1992 Winter Olympics in the French Alps, it became an\n  icon of early '90s Nordic knitwear — known for its bold colorwork and unmistakable presence. Substantial in feel yet\n  balanced in wear, it stands out through its expressive Norwegian pattern that works equally well as a ski sweater,\n  layered for winter, or worn day to day.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  For years, it has been one of the most coveted pieces in vintage knitwear.

The undyed Birch Mel.\/Coffee colorway highlights the fiber's natural tonal variation, while\n  the dyed colorways create crisp contrast. As one of Dale of Norway's signature sweaters, the Albertville carries\n  forward one of the defining designs in Norwegian knitwear.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sweater is knitted using different yarn compositions depending on the colorway:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Birch Mel. and Coffee:\n    \u003cstrong\u003e 100% undyed lightweight wool from Uruguay.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Off White and Blue Shadow: \n    \u003cstrong\u003e100% lightweight wool from South America (dyed).\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirch Mel.\/Coffee colorway (M00):\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eNature Undyed – undyed lightweight wool: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  Our undyed lightweight wool is sourced from Uruguay and showcases the natural color variations of the fiber, ranging\n  from darker to brighter tones. These different shades are sorted and blended into mélanges, creating a limited range\n  of natural colors. Since there is no dyeing process involved, the yarn remains 100% natural and biodegradable. The\n  absence of dyeing eliminates the need for the chemicals typically used in this process, while also conserving\n  resources like water and energy.
