Rauma jumper: Norwegian wool, Marius and modernity
Imagine sitting in a cosy pavement café in a Norwegian town on a clear, cold day, wrapped up in a warm Rauma jumper with the iconic Marius pattern. The jumper not only offers you protection from the Nordic winds, but also conveys a feeling of home and tradition. The MARIUS® pattern, which was designed in 1953, is the most widely used knitting pattern in Norway and symbolises the Norwegians' enthusiasm for hiking in the great outdoors. The story of this jumper begins in the picturesque landscapes of the Norwegian municipality of Rauma, framed by breathtaking mountains and rivers. This is also the origin of the Rauma yarn and an exclusive selection of the brand's knitwear, including the famous Marius design, which is now also available on scandinavian-lifestyle.com.
Rauma Ullvarefabrikk
In the picturesque landscapes of Norway, surrounded by high mountains and the breathtaking estuary at Veblungsnes, right where the Rauma River flows into the Romsdalfjorden, stands a factory that has been warming the hearts of knitwear lovers for almost a century: Rauma Ullvarefabrikk. Founded in 1927 by the then 25-year-old Erling Digernes, the factory began with just three employees and simple machines in a small lakeside hut. Today, the company is run by the third generation of the Digernes family. Over time, production has developed considerably, and the factory still prides itself on spinning yarns of the highest quality.
From raw material to own collection
The selection of well-known yarns ranges from merino wool, alpaca, linen, cotton, mohair and silk to many exciting fancy yarns. Particularly noteworthy is the yarn spun in the factory itself from 100 % Norwegian wool. Elegant Norwegian jumpers with traditional patterns, including the famous Marius pattern, are made by the company itself. This Scandi clothing with the unmistakable Rauma signature and the iconic Marius pattern also brings warmth and style to your everyday life. The Norwegian wool, known for its resilience and elasticity, is a particular pride of the factory. It is spun as a carded yarn and produces light, warm and hard-wearing garments. From traditional Rauma jumpers for men and women such as Marius, Islender and Fana to modern classics such as Varde and Spiret, you will find knitwear using Rauma yarn.
Rauma Marius jumper
The Marius jumper was designed by Unn Søiland in 1953 and is today the most frequently hand-knitted pattern in Norway. It symbolises the Norwegians' love of nature. Unn Søiland revolutionised knitwear fashion with new patterns and bright colours and was awarded the Royal Medal of Merit in Gold for her work. She has not only designed for Norway, but also for international brands such as Christian Dior and Givenchy. The jumper was named after Marius Eriksen, a war hero and actor who wore the design in a film, which increased its popularity. Today, the Marius jumper is a national symbol of Norway and is available in many shops. The original is always a Rauma Marius jumper.
High-tech Norwegian jumper made from 100 % Norwegian wool
Rauma Marius jumpers and other jumpers are knitted "wholegarment". This highly developed knitting technology without seams ensures ideal comfort and the best possible fit for your Norwegian jumpers. They are made from 100 % Norwegian wool. Norwegian wool, known for its unique properties, is spun into lightweight, warm and durable Rauma garments that are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly:
- Wool offers excellent insulation, providing natural warmth by regulating body temperature even in cold conditions, which is particularly beneficial during outdoor activities.
- Wool's natural ability to wick moisture away from the skin makes it comfortable to wear and helps to keep the body dry, ensuring a comfortable climate.
- Wool has self-cleaning properties as the natural oils in the fibre neutralise odours and repel stains. This reduces the need for frequent washing and contributes to the longevity of the garment.
Rauma knitwear is manufactured from the first to the last step in the company's own factory in Romsdalen. This is how the company guarantees the special quality of Rauma jumpers, hats, gloves and socks. These go perfectly with your Scandi fashion, whether in the country, in the city or on the way in between.
