FAABORG SWEATER The town of Faaborg on Fyn is known for its beautiful waterfront location and its maritime history.
The Faaborg Sweater is designed for men and women and the series also includes a Faaborg Sweater for the little ones.
The jumper features a distinctive yoke with wavy stripes that are an interpretation of the beautiful sunsets and the reflection of the clouds in the water of Faaborg Fjord.
Faaborg Sweater was designed in collaboration with the knitting festival „Knitting by the Sea 2023“.
