The founding of Røros Tweed was a continuation of the Hiort Foundation's home improvement activities. It began with weaving courses in 1938–39. Textiles were woven in private homes as Hiort's Foundation had run it for 150 years, and a sales center was established. Investments were made in machines, and eventually the business switched to more factory-based production. The need for larger premises arose, and a new factory was completed in 1952.


Over the years, Røros Tweed has experimented with Norwegian wool and the development of textile products of high quality and design. The factory has for many years collaborated with leading Norwegian textile artists.


Today, Røros Tweed has reorganized its production to meet the challenges of the modern textile industry. The factory's production is now concentrated on high-quality blankets in 100% pure new wool with designs inspired by the aesthetic and cultural heritage of Røros.

Norwegian wool, 100% Norwegian production and close collaboration with Scandinavia's leading designers and textile artists have made blankets from Røros Tweed one of the most well-reputed all-Norwegian quality products.
