A lovely women’s long-sleeved knit sweater, made from 100% merino wool and knitted in Finland with care. The NEULE sweater has a regular relaxed fit and set-in sleeves. Ribbed details at the neckline, hem and cuffs finish the design. The material is breathable and soft against the skin, making it a lovely choice all year round. The NEULE sweater also makes a thoughtful and beautiful gift.

The pattern features Elina Antila’s much-loved Sielulintu design, now celebrating its 10th anniversary. Its story carries symbols of safety, gentleness and quiet protection:

The Soulbird carries the soul to safety during sleep.
That safe place is the Finnish forest, with its lakes and animals.
It is a gentle, familiar shelter while the body rests.
The spruces and bushes hide the frightened ones,
the waves of the lake rock the mind into calm.

On the horizon, two swans are flying,
one black and one white, life and death.
When the time has come, they carry the soul to the other side.

But closest to you is the Soulbird, watching over you.
It is your friend and your quiet support,
even when you are not aware of it yourself.

Can you see it smiling?

Sielulintu, Elina Antila. Designed in 2015.

This beautiful NEULE sweater is a striking and versatile everyday favourite, ready to follow you through workdays, city strolls and unhurried coffee moments. It carries the gentle presence of the Soulbird with it — a sense of safety, calm and quiet strength, travelling with you like an unseen protector.

Pair the knit easily with jeans or solid-coloured trousers, letting the pattern stand out beautifully. A tone-on-tone outfit feels soft and harmonious, while lighter details, such as shoes or layered pieces, bring freshness to the look. In summer, the sweater also works beautifully with a skirt or shorts — relaxed but still thoughtfully put together for warmer days. Finish the outfit with shoes that suit the season: easy trainers bring lightness to everyday wear, chunky loafers add a little structure, and ankle boots complete the look on cooler days.

Made from merino wool, the classic NEULE sweater is a striking piece where comfort, responsibility and meaningful design come together in a natural way. It may well become that trusted favourite you return to again and again.
