Dale Of Norway Albertville Pullover Sweater Women's

The Albertville is a chunky knit sweater crafted in 100% lightweight wool, with a relaxed fit and classic crew neck. First introduced as the official team sweater for Norway at the 1992 Winter Olympics in the French Alps, it became an icon of early '90s Nordic knitwear — known for its bold colorwork and unmistakable presence. Substantial in feel yet balanced in wear, it stands out through its expressive Norwegian pattern that works equally well as a ski sweater, layered for winter, or worn day to day.

For years, it has been one of the most coveted pieces in vintage knitwear. Collectors have hunted through second-hand shops, vintage archives, and online marketplaces across Europe in search of an original. True to the original Olympic design, the Albertville is reintroduced with a finely detailed neckband and carefully considered yarn colors. The undyed Birch Mel./Coffee colorway highlights the fiber's natural tonal variation, while the dyed colorways create crisp contrast. As one of Dale of Norway's signature sweaters, the Albertville carries forward one of the defining designs in Norwegian knitwear.
