Those are just a couple of corners in the shop. There was much more stuff than just that! I loved how they had many of the Hanne Falkenberg Designs kits, as well as the finished garments.What did I buy? Being in Norway, I wanted to buy Norwegian stuff, so I got some Brodergarn (Ravelry link) by Røros-Tweed:
It's 100% new wool from the Spælsau sheep. I also got the same yarn in a dark emerald green colour. The plan for the purple colour is to make the Peacock Feathers Shawl by Dorothy Siemens (Ravelry link here).These eight balls of Rauma Lamullgarn (aka Røros Lamullgarn) should make themselves into some lovely mittens:
So, shop details. The name of the shop is Husfliden and there seem to be stores all over Norway, but the one I visited was in Oslo. The address is Rosenkrantz' gate 19-21 and it's very close to the Town Hall (the big ugly brown box-shaped building...really, it's uuuugly!). The telephone number is (+47) 22 42 10 75 and the email address is post@dennorskehusfliden.no.

I love that shop! I once stayed in a nearby hotel during a work trip and stumbled upon this treasure cave. I think it's one of my all time favorites.
The shop looks awesome! So neat and orderly, and light! And look at all those yarns! Aah! Wish I could go there. Nice loot you've got too! :o)
Wow, I'm drooling just looking at the pictures! I think I would have a very hard time not spending a lot of money in that place. I love the yarn you chose for your mittens!
