  • A thick, stretchy rib knit
  • Feel just a tad small when new
  • Made in Finland!

A heavenly blend of alpaca and sheep

Alpaca is a relatively new arrival to the vast wastelands of Finland, but we're slowly getting acquinted with it. We already have alpaca farms here, you know! When you take alpaca and merino wool and combine them to a pair of well thought-out traditional mittens, you literally have something damn nice in your hands!

These are crafted from double layered wool with a stretchy rib-knit. They also work extremely well with leather shell mittens.

Material and care

  • 70 % merino wool, 30 % alpaca wool.
  • 350 g/m2.
  • 20.5 - 21 microns
  • Wool wash at 40 °C / 104° F.

Alpaca is said to be up to three times as warm as lambswool, won't pile up easily but doesn't contain lanolin either. On the other hand merino wool is extremely fine lambswool and traps warmth like there's no tomorrow - all in all a tried and true material. Both wools are pretty warm even when wet and won't stink easily thanks to their anti-bacterial properties.

The mittens can be machine washed in 40° Celsius (104° F) with wool cycle. Use of wool care products recommended (ones with lanolin too). Hang dry.

Our merino wool is mulesing-free. With alpaca wool such measures have not been necessary ever, so it's quite ethical by virtue.

Two colours

The available colours are dark brown and grey. As said before, these are the natural shades of the animals and haven't been treated in any way. They can vary just a bit from batch to batch.

Being untreated, they also have the natural odour of the animal, which will wear off with use. We think this is a lovely scent, kinda reminds us of a farm.

Size info

Simple sizes. When you pick the size you usually wear the fit will be just a tad on the small size - this is intentional, as in use these will form to a perfect shape. If you don't like your mittens "skin tight", get one size larger.

Made in Finland

Made by Agtuvi Oy in Finland.

Hyvää näissä on ranteiden suojaus joka pysyy paikallaan ja tulee tarpeeksi pitkälle sekä sormien lapio osuus joka on tilava. Mukavan kevyet ja väri on mukavan neutraali. Näiden ansiosta toinen tähti.
Huonoa onkin sitten se itse tarkoitus, ostin nämä kun ilmat lähtevät kylmenemään mutta kädet eivät pysy lämpiminä. Tuntuu että ilma virtaa läpi jolloin pureva kylmyys pääsee iskemään ikävästi sormiin. En suosittele jättämään lämmitystä pelkästään näiden varaan tai voi tulla äkkiä äitiä ikävä.
Testattu livenä Helsingissä 4.2.2021 aamulla 6.30 ja ulkona -15 joka forecan mukaan tuntuu kuin -25. Kevyt puhallus kuten rannikolla yleensä, ei kumminkaan tuulista. Näiden kanssa ei ainakaan pääse hikoilemaan jos jotain positiivista.

Erittäin mukavat lapaset talven pikkupakkasille. Ostin nämä ja tuntuvat kädessä samaan aikaan hengittäviltä sekä lämpimiltä ja ovat ihanan kevyet. Materiaalikin on mukava iholla ja lapaset ovat kestäneet hyvin arkikäytön, joskus pieniä kädentöitäkin. Suosittelen ostamaan jos mietitte mukavia lapasia arkikäyttöön.
