Woof Design, established in 1977 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, is known for crafting sweaters using high-quality yarns, particularly specializing in mohair and wool blends. During the 1980s and 1990s, they produced hand-knitted sweaters combining mohair and wool, including merino wool, to achieve a soft and fuzzy texture. This blend was popular in that era for its warmth and distinctive appearance. Vintage Woof Design sweaters from this period are sought after for their quality craftsmanship and unique designs.
