Merino Fingerless Mittens – Rust

Our rust merino fingerless mittens are handmade by me in our home studio in Geelong.

Each pair is hand-made and then hand-dyed, truly a handmade item.

These cute mittens make a fabulous gift (even for yourself).

The fabric is called sports wool.  It is a double-layered fabric, the outer layer is 100% merino wool and the inner polyester.

• the wool is super breathable, keeps you warm in winter and breaths really nicely for warmer days;
• made with superfine Australian Merino wool;
• the fabric is not bulky and the mittens are a lovely light weight to wear;
• the inner layer gives flexibility and also adds stretchiness, very comfy;
• combining the fibres gives strength and therefore longevity to the fabric;
• developed for high wick ability – hands don’t get clammy;
• the fabric dyes into an extremely gorgeous finished colour;

I make these merino fingerless mittens in just the one size. I designed the pattern to fit a wide range of hand fittings, from a teenage girl to a “senior” person.   I’ve seen these on many hands, of all different shapes and sizes, they seem to fit just about all hands nicely!

They’re great for:

• Driving gloves – keep that sun off your hands when you’re in the car;
• Golf gloves – they’re light, your hands are warm and you still have the fingers exposed for grip;
• Teachers on yard duty;
• Fellow market stallholders, when setting up on those chilly mornings;
• Fellow market stallholders, all day long!
• Walking the dog;
• Anywhere, anytime!  I’m sure you’ll love them!
