Dale of Norway

Dale of Norway is a Norwegian clothing brand known for their production of high quality knitwear of pure wool.

The village of Dale in Vaksdal is situated in the valley of Bergsdalen on the west coast of Norway. In 1879, the historic textile factory was established with easy access to wool, strong knitting traditions, and a supply of natural power from the local waterfalls. Since then, Dale of Norway has developed designs in premium qualities that are marketed worldwide.

The Dale of Norway headquarter and textile factory is located in the small village of Dale between Bergen and Voss in Hordaland. The historic factory is open all year for visitors and is about 60 minutes from Bergen and 35 minutes from Voss by E16 or accessible from the Dale Station on Bergen Commuter Rail. Dale of Norway has retail stores in Oslo, Stavanger and Quebec, with distribution in more than 24 countries worldwide. The daughter company Dale of Norway Inc. is based in Vermont.

Dale of Norway offers a wide range of premium knitwear within the categories Heritage (traditional Norwegian designs), Active (sport and outdoor) and Style (fashion). In addition the collection includes kid’s sweaters and accessories as hats, headbands and scarves.

Dale of Norway has developed its own designs, and redesigned age-old Norwegian patterns, turning them into garments for fashion and sport with an authentic story. All the garments are made with 100% natural wool of high qualities. The collection is designed with different types of wool, from the strong, long-lasting Norwegian wool to the thinnest, softest merino and even cashmere.

Due to the skilled staff, Dale of Norway has developed several innovative wool qualities. One is the technical “Weatherproof” material, a system of water and stain repellent wool laminated with a breathable windproof membrane. From raw wool to finished products the Dale of Norway’s knitwear has been fine-tuned with 130 years of experience. The experienced team has developed beautiful designs, innovative knitting techniques and unique qualities. Since the knitting is done in Norway, the team is able to follow every step of production to ensure the best possible results.

Since 1956, Dale of Norway has designed and produced official Olympic and World Championship sweaters for the Norwegian National Ski Teams, with new designs for every event. Dale of Norway was later chosen to design the official sweaters for the Winter Olympic Games through the International Olympic Committee (IOC), with the rights to use the Olympic symbols.
