Sized for ladies or men.Say goodbye to cold fingers this winter!
Here is a pair of mittens that will keep you warm even in the lowest temperatures. It is hand knit in a double strand of the warmest fiber existing: qiviut, the underdown of the muskox. It is said to be 8 times warmer than wool by weight and is extremely light weight.
An attractive cable pattern runs along the back side of the mittens, and seed stitch is on the inside. This pair of mittens is a nice companion to the qiviut hats "Malcolm Island" or "Hernando Island" as they feature the same cable pattern.
Mittens "Hernando Island" - Pure Qiviut
Material:
100% qiviut (muskox under down). The warm dark brown-greyish colour is all natural and undyed.
Qiviut is 8 times warmer than wool by weight, feather light and incredibly soft. It wicks moisture away, is breathable and hypo-allergenic. Qiviut does not felt or shrink. It is durable and can be worn for many years to come.
NOTE: On the downside, it does not maintain elasticity and due to its fine structure, it has a tendency to pill. Please, carefully cut pills away with sharp scissors.

Men: Length from wrist to tip: 8 1/4 (=21cm)
Care:
Hand wash in luke warm water with special wool detergent, rinse, squeeze out any excess water and lay flat to dry.
