At the weekend in summer 2011 when I spun the wool for this jacket, a horrible terrorist attack happened in Norway. It was hard to believe what happened there. I could completely sympathise with the Norwegians, feel their horror, sorrow and consternation. Norwegians are very cosmopolitan with all their heart. I also felt with my relatives in Norway, who live in Verdalsöra in the Verdal valley. That is why I called this jacket Verdal. I think this name is quite suitable because it shows that colours match that you would not usually put together. Which is the same with many different nationalities, that enrich a single nation.

For knitters who don’t spin eg this wool can be suitable, 3-ply variegated yarn from Ullcentrum.
The pattern for the cowl is also in this blog, Remembrance Cowl.
