Not a shop, but an association of people, mainly women who are interested in handicrafts. For the most part it is textiles that are in focus.
There are several reasons for these handicraft associations to form, such as the wish to continue an art tradition, learn new techniques or simply to have an excuse to meet. Individual members may sell the products, use them themselves, or donate it for auction or lottery for some social cause.
What to buy: Sweaters, woolen socks, gloves, hats, scarves - you name it.
Åkle - a kind of bed cover, sometimes lined with fur, used to keep warm in winter or to line a cold and drafty indoor log wall.
What to pay: For a 5 NOK lottery ticket you can be the lucky winner of a 2000 NOK worth åkle. For 1000 you may still get the 2' NOK åkle in a stall - that is 1000 off from the chic "boutique" price through a commerical retailer. For instance... Cheaper than where there are middlemen/women, anyway.

The raw materials are mainly hides from locally felled moose and red deer.
What to buy: Clothing items made from hides.
Handbags, slippers, bottle bags.
Food bags - very nice, coffe and lunch-packet-bags likewise.
What to pay: Fair prices.
Some goods with small errors in stitching or hides may be outright cheap.

Even most Norwegians have never heard of Snillfjord, and the response is " - what???" Snillfjord in contemporary Norwegian language would translate into "The kind fjord", so it sounds funny to us,...
