Devold Hoddevik 100% Lambswool High Neck Sweater - Norwegian Heritage Knitwear
The Devold Hoddevik is a chunky-knit wool sweater from the Norwegian company's heritage archives, representing over 170 years of wool craft tradition. Originally designed as protective workwear for fishermen and coastal workers facing Norway's harsh North Sea climate, this high-necked pullover now serves modern outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking authentic, long-lasting wool garments.
Heritage Design Meets Modern Use Part of Devold's Originals collection, the Hoddevik revives proven historical patterns where thick wool sweaters were essential survival equipment, not fashion. The high neck protected workers against freezing winds and sea sprayÑthe same functionality that makes it ideal today for hiking, camping, cold-weather commuting, and outdoor work.
100% Pure Lambswool Construction Crafted from 100% new lambswool (32-36 micron fibre), this "broad" wool differs from fine merino with key advantages: superior durability that resists abrasion, enhanced insulation through maximum air-trapping loft, traditional substantial texture, and a beautiful patina that develops with age. Natural wool benefits include temperature regulation, moisture management (stays warm even when damp), odour resistance requiring less frequent washing, and breathability during active use.
Design Features
- High neck (turtleneck): Provides critical insulation for neck and face; folds down for ventilation
- Chunky gauge knit: Dense construction maximises warmth and creates legendary durability
- Ribbed hem and cuffs: Elastic finishing prevents cold air entry at waist and wrists
- Italian design: Created by renowned designer Olmes Carretti
- Relaxed unisex fit: Roomy cut suits both men and women, allows easy layering
When and Where to Wear It Perfect for everyday casual wear (coffee shops, errands, home), outdoor activities (hiking, camping, fishing, apr�s-ski), and cold weather destinations. Temperature range: 0¡C to 15¡C (32¡F to 59¡F) standalone, extends to -10¡C (14¡F) with base layers, or sub-zero with shell jacket layering.
Built to Last Generations The combination of durable lambswool, traditional construction, and timeless design means the Hoddevik can genuinely become an heirloom piece. Norwegian museums contain Devold sweaters over 100 years old still in wearable condition.
Care Instructions Wool's self-cleaning properties require minimal washing. Air out between wears, hand wash or use wool cycle (30¡C/86¡F) only when needed, dry flat, and store folded with cedar or lavender sachets.

Devold Size Guide
The size guide indicates what body measurements will fit the garments as they are planned to be worn. Individually one may choose a smaller size for a tighter fit or a bigger size for a loose fit. Devold underwear and accessories are generally made in elastic materials, mid-layers in more stable qualities. The garment measures will differ according to the elasticity in each quality and intended fitting - the size guide refers to body measurement for correct fit.
A few precautions
- When bust/chest measures indicate different size than height, follow the bust measurement
- When hip and waist indicate different sizes, follow the hip measurement
- When height indicate two sizes more than width measure, we recommend to chose the size in between.
