Item Description

ONE pair of lovingly hand-knit women's fingerless mitts made by SBS Alumni parent Caroline Bollman using ultra-soft, naturally dyed 100% Merino Wool by Sincere Sheep.

Merino Wool is a natural fiber grown by Merino sheep. It’s thinner and softer than regular wool—making it easy to wear next to skin.

What is Merino wool made of? Proteins composed of amino acids and natural compounds. Merino wool is a natural, renewable fiber—meaning one sheep can grow four to five pounds of wool per year. Plus, this fiber has evolved over the years to keep sheep comfortable in harsh environments. These happy animals hang out in temperatures that range from 5 degrees to 95 degrees—no problem. It’s a pretty amazing fiber.

What is Merino wool better at than traditional wool? It’s super-fine and soft. A single Merino wool fiber is 1/3“ the diameter of a human hair. It’s so fine, actually, that when it brushes up against skin, it bends out of the way. It can’t be prickly like other wool fibers because it can’t stand up to the weight of itself. So it’s soft. Really soft.
