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.

WINTER ENCHANTMENT SWEATER
Inspired by Estonian folk belt patterns, or vöö (also known as
kõlavöö), offer a wealth of geometric inspiration for knitting. These traditional belts, often created using tablet or inkle weaving, are characterized by their prominent squares, diamonds, chevrons, and X-shaped motifs.
