    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The know-how about curating, harvesting and selecting the best parts of the sheep wool and different uses according to its natural properties: socks, sweaters, woven fabrics and felted wools. Knitting has been a practiced traditionally carried out at home by women. Spinning, knitting and weaving was common knowledge un homes up until 100 years ago, when industrial production begun to take over home-made textiles. Knitting culture has survived in Lofoten to greater extends than in other European countries, and traditional pattern and techniques are still known. Every piece of clothing, being socks, sweaters, mittens or hats, requiere speceific knowledge about stitch density, patterning and wool texture. When industrial dyes were not widely available, local natural plants and likens would do the coloring. The knowledge about plant use was mostly orally transmitted for generations. Currently, some of said traditions can be found in crafting manuals and school education, all of which is used to produce unique sweaters in Lofoten wool. ]]></dcterms:description>
