Sheepskin Mittens

Our makers began their workshop in1986 and have become masters in the art of crafting sheepskin.

They're a small family company that employ local crafts people to create their wonderful mittens right in the heart of Somerset. We've worked with leather for a long time now and after hearing from lots of our colleagues how wonderful their goods are we had to take a look for ourselves.

Luxuriously soft, warm and beautifully made we couldn't resist their mittens. Memories of long country walks and crackling bonfires had us hooked on these as soon as we saw them, and we're sure you'll love them too.

Caring for your sheepskin products is very important to ensure you have a long happy life together.

You can wash your mittens but once you do, do bear in mind they will never be quite as soft as before. Washing them removes the natural oils in the sheepskin and suede, which will make it slightly stiff when drying. We would always advise trying to leave them for as long as possible before washing.

To neutralise any odour you can put a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda in overnight and shake out in the morning. If you do decide to wash them, we would recommend hand-washing in lukewarm water as above with a sheepskin shampoo or non-bio detergent. You must allow them to dry naturally away from any direct heat sources including tumble driers, fires, radiators or airing cupboards. As they dry, keep flexing them as much as possible, this will help to keep the suede more supple. We would always advise spraying them with a protect/waterproofing spray when new, which will help to protect from any staining.
