Reviewed by sweater lover from SLC, UT on Monday, February 18, 2013Very happy with the sweater!!! It is so very pretty in red! Only a little surprised by the pattern in the back, but still love it. Good weight for indoor wear too.

Reviewed by Minute Mom from New England on Wednesday, January 30, 2013Really handsome sweater. Unfortunately, yarn threads are loose on the interior of the sweater - much too easy to snag when taking sweater on/off.

Reviewed by Clothes Horse from Minneapolis, MN on Wednesday, January 09, 2013I got this sweater on an after Christmas sale. I like how it looks with the boiled wool and crewel stitching on the top and then the regular knit wool on the bottom. It is hard to see that from the picture. I was to the Vrikke factory in Stavanger before it closed. Now the sweaters are designed in Norway and made in China. There is a difference in quality from those that were made in Norway, but a good price for a nice Norweigan sweater.

Reviewed by Webfootgal from North of Portland, OR on Monday, December 10, 2012This is a beautiful sweater in a light fine knit. Colors are bright and clear, a true white and black. If you are envisioning a heavy jacket-like sweater, this isn't it. For indoors wear or milder weather it's perfect. Fit for me was excellent, but sleeves might be short on some as my arms aren't that long. I reluctantly returned the sweater because I could see loose threads in the crewelwork and was concerned that it wouldn't hold up to dry-cleaning. Even at STP's excellent price, it was too expensive to take that risk, but if you are fortunate enough to avoid that problem it's a keeper.

Reviewed by Scandinavian Needlevations from Hopkinton, NH on Wednesday, November 21, 2012I am Scandinavian and design sweaters and accessories. I particulary love adding crewel embroidery to my handknit sweaters, mittens and hats. It is very rare to find these items even in Norway and Sweden. Vrikke offers items by Scandinavian designers that incorporate retro and ethnic details into their garments. They are then produced in China. While Vrikke is somewhat expensive, this likely keeps the cost lower and significantly more affordable. If they were handknit and crafted in Norway or by me the prices would be considerably higher!

Reviewed by Northern Flicker from Glacier Park, MT on Wednesday, November 21, 2012It's a beautiful sweater with classic styling and I couldn't believe the great price. Well, turns out the price was a little too good to be true. While it is "Norwegian-styled" it is made in China. It has good bulk, but the the bulk you would expect in an authentic Norwegian sweater. The fit is a little snug - fine for me to wear as a cardigan and not so snug that I wanted to get the next size up. I like the styling and the color for Christmas, so I'm going to keep it. I still consider it a good deal, just not a great deal.
