When Koigu Wool Designs first began, Maie and Taiu Landra
sold sweaters handknit out of our own sheep’s wool at local
markets. We are bringing back 10 of these classic colourwork
sweaters designed by Koigu co-founder, Maie Landra, in the 80s
and 90s. Featuring traditional Estonian knitwear motifs in
bottom-up, seamed charted sweater patterns.

SIGNS OF SUMMER SWEATER
“Ubalekiri” is an Estonian term that refers to a stylized, abstract
decorative pattern, often used in folk art, weaving, and folk
knitting. It’s sometimes translated loosely as “bean script” or “bean motif”, from uba meaning “bean” and kiri meaning “pattern” or “script.” This sweater uses Ubalekiri in an allover colourwork
pattern.
