Lohi is a tribute to the amazing wild salmon which, unfortunately, was recently listed as endangered in Norway. I’m crossing my fingers that we manage to save the wild salmon, and that future generations get to experience some of what I’ve been so fortunate to experience while fishing.

The sweater fits right into waders, and is perfect for fishing trips throughout the flyfishing season. It’s is worked top down, with an a-line shaped body for women. Lohi means «salmon» in Finnish and Kvääni and is pronounced «låhi».
