Truly the best friend your hands will ever have!
100% GREEN WITH UPCYCLED WOOL & RECYCLED FLEECE. AMAZINGLY SOFT, AND WICKED WARM!
MY WOOL, LINING, & BUTTONS:
I use re-cycled sweaters, blankets, scarves, hats, pretty much any clothing that is wool. Most all are 100% wool, some are 80% or more wool. The different types of wool I use are lambswool, alpaca, mohair, merino wool, angora or cashmere. All the wool has been felted or pre-shrunk. (washed in HOT water and dried on HIGH heat. The linings are made from fleece blankets that I purchase at Berkshire Blanket, which are made from recycled plastic. Most of the buttons I use are recycled, however some of them are purchased new due to the quantity I use.
MITTEN CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
My mittens are super durable, long lasting and the care is easier than you can imagine. The mittens can be machine washed on any temperature setting and dried on low heat, air fluff or hung out to dry in the fresh air! Wool will stretch when it gets damp, so if they start to stretch out a bit from wearing them in wet snowy weather, just put them in the dryer on air fluff ad they will tighten back up again. I stand behind my mittens 100%, so if you have any problems at all, please contact me.
HOW WICKED WARM MITTENS ARE MADE:




MEET THE CREATOR: LORI KALTNER!
I have been sewing my entire life, growing up my mom made most all of our clothes and let us experiment with the sewing machine at a young age. As an early teen, I started making some of my own clothes. In high school I made my own prom dresses. I made barbie and baby doll clothes to earn extra money as a stay at home mom, taught sewing and tailoring in the evenings and also made many of my son's and daughter's clothes. I have always been big on recycling, and when I saw a pair of up-cycled wool mittens, I LOVED the idea and couldn't get my mind off them. I have Reynauds and my hands are ALWAYS cold, so I had to figure out how to make them totally hug my hands. One evening I took the fleece blanket I was wrapped up in to my sewing room and started cutting it up and lined a pair of mittens with it. It felt amazing and so incredibly soft. What I was searching for was right in front of me the whole time! It was an extra fluffy fleece blanket from Berkshire Blanket, these blankets are made from recycled plastic, so my mittens are 100% GREEN! And so MY up-cycled, totally “green”, amazingly soft and Wicked Warm Mittens were born!
