BJOROY UNISEX POLAR MITTENS DALE OF NORWAY

Colors

"F00" black/off white

"I01"redrose/allium

Water resistant wool mittens with a classic pattern shared with our Bjorøy sweater. Made with 100% long-lasting Norwegian wool and lined with polyester. The pattern originates from the famous Norwegian Sotra sweater, easily recognizable with a pattern of repeated eight-petal roses across. The original Sotra sweater was part of the Dale of Norway collection in the early 1990s. This Sotra sweater originates from the Sotra island, west of Bergen, exposed to the harsh weather from the North Sea. On this island a variation of the eight-petal rose pattern emerged: The roses are separated by diagonal lines on a contrasting background, giving an intricate geometrical pattern. It is believed that the eight-petal rose came to the island around 1850, introduced by traders and sailors from the Hardanger region. These mittens are named after Bjorøy, a small island in the same archipelago as the Sotra island.
