Brushed Wool Mittens - Puffin

Brushed Icelandic wool mittens in white with a puffin on each hand · one size, unisex · made in Iceland by Garðaprjón

Sale price$65.90

A present that says Iceland without a word: fluffy cream mittens with a black-and-white bird and an orange beak knitted on the back of both hands. One reviewer bought a pair for a daughter who had fallen for the birds on her trip.

What you get

  • A puffin worked into the knit on the back of each mitten, black and white with an orange beak, so it cannot peel or crack the way a print can
  • Brushed after knitting, so the surface stands up in a soft halo that holds warm air round the hand
  • A plain white cuff folded back at the wrist to close the gap to a coat sleeve
  • One size for men and women: a gift that needs no hand measurement

  • The puffin, for a puffin personLight, one size and unmistakably Icelandic: the present for the friend who photographed every bird on the cliffs at Látrabjarg or Dyrhólaey.
  • A set that growsThe same white wool and the same bird on a hat, a scarf and a headband, so the mittens can be a first piece or the one that completes the set.

Questions people ask before they buy

Is there a puffin on both mittens?
Yes, one on the back of each hand, and they are knitted as a pair: the bird on the left mitten looks right and the bird on the right looks left, so the two face each other when you hold your hands together. The palm side is plain, with the pale band continuing round.
Will they fit me?
They come in one size for men and women. The knit stretches round the hand and the brushed wool is thick enough to feel snug on a smaller hand without being tight on a larger one. The thumb is set in at an angle, as on a classic mitten.
How do they feel?
Fluffy on the outside and soft inside, because the brushing lifts the fibres into a halo on both faces of the knit. Icelandic wool is light for the warmth it gives, so the mittens feel like a cloud round the hand rather than a weight on it.
What else comes with this puffin?
Garðaprjón knits the same bird on a white beanie, a headband and a scarf with the word ÍSLAND under the puffin; the last three photos show them. Mittens and hat is the natural pair.
How do I wash them?
Seldom. Wool sheds dry dirt when it is brushed off and airs fresh overnight. When they do need a wash, use a 30 °C wool cycle or wash by hand with wool detergent, press the water out without wringing, pull them into shape and dry flat away from heat.
