Särmä Alpaca Mittens

These very comfy and warm mittens are made from an alpaca/merino wool blend. They are warmer than the lambswool equivalent of the same weight. They are also undyed; what you see are the natural shades of the animal!

• Thick, stretchy rib knit
• Heavenly blend of alpaca and sheep
• Made in Finland!

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

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

Alpaca is up to three times as warm as lambswool, and it won't pile up easily. However, it doesn’t contain lanolin either. 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.

Two colors

The available colors are dark brown and grey. As said before, these are the natural shades of the animals and haven't been treated in any way. Just like in nature, the color can vary slightly from batch to batch.

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