Husfliden — Norwegian handicraft
The Norwegian national craft cooperative's Trondheim branch — bunad components, woven goods, traditional knitwear, all certified Norwegian-made.
Tied to Trondheim
Husfliden Trondheim on Olav Tryggvasons gate is the Trondheim branch of Norsk Flid — the national cooperative founded in 1891 to keep Norwegian crafts alive against industrialization. Everything carries the cooperative’s mark: bunad (regional folk-dress) components, woven runners in regional patterns, silver jewelry, ceramics from named makers, and a strong stock of Selbu-pattern hand-knit mittens in the eight-pointed rose.
Husfliden is not cheap. It is the answer to “where do I buy the real thing instead of the cruise-port version.” A Selbu mitten pair from here is hand-knit by a registered maker in the village the pattern is named after.
What we plan to look for
One pair of Selbu mittens in the classic eight-point pattern, sized to whoever’s hands fit them best.
