FAQs

What makes the Hana Mittens unique?

They are uniquely crafted from a luxurious blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, and silk, produced using traditional artisanal methods in Italy with certified sustainable yarns.

Are these mittens suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the natural fibers of alpaca, cashmere, and silk provide excellent thermal insulation, making them very suitable for cold weather.

How should I wash the Hana Mittens?

Hand wash only in cold water with a mild wool detergent. Do not wring or machine dry. Lay flat to air dry, reshaping while damp.

Can I machine wash these mittens?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate fibers and cause shrinkage or loss of shape.

What does RAS and RWS certification mean?

RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard) and RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certifications ensure that the alpaca and wool fibers used come from farms that manage their land responsibly and uphold the highest standards of animal welfare.

Are these mittens itchy?

The blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, and silk is known for its exceptional softness. Itching is highly unlikely with these premium, natural fibers.

What is the typical lifespan of these mittens?

With proper care, following the hand-washing and flat-drying instructions, these high-quality mittens can last for many years.

Troubleshooting

Mittens feel itchy or rough.

This is unlikely with the premium blend, but if it occurs, ensure they are properly washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, residual detergent can cause irritation. A second rinse might help.

Mittens have lost their shape.

Gently reshape the mittens while damp after washing and allow them to air dry flat. Avoid any form of machine drying or excessive stretching.

Small pulls or snags on the surface.

Carefully try to snip the snagged loop with small, sharp scissors without cutting the surrounding yarn. Avoid snagging by being mindful of rough surfaces.

Pilling has occurred.

Gently remove pills by hand or use a fabric shaver designed for delicate materials. Avoid excessive friction during wear to minimize future pilling.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Hana Mittens, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash only in cold water (maximum 30°C or 86°F). Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fibers. Do not wring or twist the mittens.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water until all soap is removed.
  3. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay the mittens flat on a clean, dry towel. Reshape them to their original form while damp. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider using cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the fibers. Fold them neatly for storage.
