The rugged wool
Knitted in Norwegian wool from farms in Hustadvika. Wear it as a warm layer over other clothes.
Behind Havbris and Hustadvika lies Brit’s knitting method. Get to know the story, the craft and the distinctive structure of the garments.


Wool alone isn’t the whole explanation. What insulates is the still air held in the knit – and Brit’s method builds a lot of it in.

SINTEF described the knit as “a thick and open structure” with “a lot of air between the fibres”.
Your body heat stays in the air pockets, even when you take a break. SINTEF found that the insulation follows the amount of air in the knit.
Wool can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling wet, so you stay warm when you stop after being active.

At Lyngstad, on the edge of the Atlantic, Eilif came home wet and cold from working in the forest and on the farm. Brit knitted him a sweater with extra air in the stitches. That was the beginning of Lanullva in 1994.
Today their daughter Gunn Anne runs the family business together with her children Frank, Svein and Cecilie. We are based by the Atlantic Road, just five kilometres from where it all began – with the same care for the garments and the people who wear them.
