These mittens are knit DK-weight by local artisan JoAnn Bond and felted to size by Shannon. The process of felting using water, soap, and agitation opens the fibres and binds them together resulting in a more wind-resistant hand-crafted mitten.
One-size-fits-most.
Do not put alpaca in hot water, agitate it, or dry in a dryer or on a heat source.
Soak in room temperature water with gentle detergent or shampoo for 30 minutes, rinse, gently squeeze away excess water, and lay flat to dry.
Wipe soiled area with a damp cloth free from soap, and allow it to air dry. Gently brush fur when dry and shake to fluff.
