The name Åklevanter comes from Åkle (woven tapestry) and vanter (mittens).
In most parts of Norway you would call it votter - like in Selbuvotter, but on the west coast of southern Norway, mittens are called vanter.

The pattern is inspired by the traditional Woven tapestries iconic to our textile history.

It is a traditional Norwegian pattern also found in other types of textile crafts.

The letter «Å» is pronounced like the sound
in eng.; ´aw´ (like in awesome…)
