FAQs

Are these mittens waterproof?

No, they are made of genuine sheepskin which is not waterproof. They are ideal for dry, cold weather.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing will damage the leather and the sheepskin lining. Only spot clean with a damp cloth.

What is the purpose of the cord?

The cord is designed to be threaded through a coat, ensuring the mittens stay together and are not easily lost by children.

Are they suitable for very young children?

Yes, they are designed for kids and provide excellent warmth, though adult supervision is recommended for the cord attachment.

How should I store them during the summer?

Keep them in a breathable bag in a cool, dry closet to prevent mold or leather cracking.

Troubleshooting

Mittens feel stiff after getting wet

Gently massage the leather once it is dry to restore flexibility to the fibers.

Interior wool is shedding

Some shedding is normal with natural wool; shake the mittens out gently to remove loose fibers.
