Cowichan Pullover Sweater
• Authentic Cowichan sweaters originate
from the Cowichan Tribes, a Coast Salish
First Nation on Vancouver Is., BC.
• Cowichan sweaters are hand-knit from
natural, hand-spun, un-dyed virgin
sheep&#39;s wool, which gives them natural
water resistance and durability.
• The eagle motif on the front and back
represents strength, power, and wisdom.
• The border and the sleeves have the
repeating &#34;hearts and flowers&#34; or &#34;vine&#39;
and leaf&#34; patterns.
• This sweater does not have a tag, and
is more tightly woven then more modern
sweaters, which indicates it was most
likely made between 1960&#39;s to late
1970&#39;s, and was sold directly from the
knitter to the customer, rather than going
through a store outlet.
• In very good used condition. It has
been washed and re-blocked. View
