Water-resistant wool mittens featuring a classic pattern shared with the Bjorøy sweater, crafted from 100% long-lasting Norwegian wool with a polyester lining. These mittens showcase a design inspired by the renowned Norwegian Sotra sweater, characterized by its repeated eight-petal rose pattern.
The pattern's origins can be traced back to the Sotra island, west of Bergen, where it evolved to include diagonal lines separating the roses on a contrasting background, creating an intricate geometric design. This variation is believed to have been introduced around 1850 by traders and sailors from the Hardanger region. The mittens are named after Bjorøy, a small island in the same archipelago as Sotra.
These mittens combine traditional Norwegian design elements with modern functionality, offering both style and protection against harsh weather conditions.
