All of our garments are made with the same wool. Which means you can mix and match and develop a whole warddrobe or enjoy a single item. We only work with one fabric and aim to do wonders.
Hi Ryan, my apologies for not responding sooner. We have not officially tested as that is a costly claim, however we have a lot of people that do use them at these temperatures. The durasoft wool is the thickest and most water repellent and would be my suggestion to keep wind and water out.

A really easy way to measure is to trace the hand on a sheet of paper in the general shape of the mitt.

The wool is stretchy and forgiving.
We have been adding some links to some interesting reads about superwash merino wool and the production of our fabrics.
All of our Heavyweight fabrics use what is called “feltable” wool or wool that has scales to knit together almost like velcro does to make it thick and great for diapering and warm clothing yet is still temperature regulating. We have been mostly using these fabrics for years, but recently introduced the Dreamweight and Jersey as lighter weight options in our line up. These 2 fabrics are superwash.
Superwash is a process that was introducted in the 1970s as a way to allow wool to be more practical for the mass population. Some people didn’t want thick sweaters nor had the patience to hand wash things. The processes uses chlorine to remove the scales that stick together, then the fabric undergoes a softening process. It is like putting the fiber into a pool and then hair conditioner afterwards. Both stages require water and chemicals, and can look scary. This process has gotten some bad press over the years. There are some new processes being introduced; spoken about in the articles below. Take a look and decide for yourself what is best for your family. We do offer a variety of options and intend to introduce more over the up coming months and years most of which will be “feltable” style because that is our main fabric line up.
I didn’t fully understand what superwash was when I first got some years ago to try out. I do tend to run hot, and had dabbled for short times over the years in using these fabrics. I have a dress I made myself that I love, it keeps me feeling cool on hot summer days, but still comfortable in air conditioned spaces as well. I had stopped offering these garments more because I was streamlining our offereings and wanted to really work on our heavyweight process and didn’t divide the available capital investments among too many fabrics.
I had a few people beg me to bring in Jersey and lighteweight fabrics. I brought in the Jersey and Dreamweight at that time. I was aware that a small handful of people were concerned about superwash, but also that many had no idea what it was any it confused them with too much information. I did look around and found that most wool makers didn’t opening announce it, but I was open to discuss if anyone asked me. I trust the makers of the fabrics and the regulations of Europe and USA that the process couldn’t be that bad anyways.
When I learned more about some people having concerns about superwash, I did some research and spoke with my knitter again to verify my understanding about this topic. They have been in the industry for years in the US. They get their yarn from Europe, and offer both Superwash and Feltable wool types. He said that they have spent hours and thousands of dollars testing our different methods. Their testing resulted in unusable wool fabric that was severly damaged. They usually do the knitting, and have navigated to allow the spinners to do what they do best and not reinvent the wheel. The Jersey maker uses charguers in the US which is the only facility to do so in America.
We have been undergoing a lot of growth with a lot of products and I do apologize for not being more clear when these were introduced. I have had a couple more people inquiring, so I decided better late than never, regreting not investing the time earlier. There is a lot of anecdotal information out there, but I did try to find some scientific articles discussing the process and some of their findings. I searched microplastics and superwash and didn’t find anything, but will continue to research. I do not want to offer a product that I don’t feel confortable with.
Our superwash is processed by Charguers, an international leader in textile fabrication with an division in USA. They have aided in further testing of processes as well. They are using updated technology to reduce the environmental impacts of the superwash process, and continue to work on sustainability as part of their mandate. A lot of this information has some proprietary information, the whole textile industry is a challenge to navigate. From water and pesticide use in cotton production as well as the dyeing process, bamboo fabric production, availability of knowledge and machinery to produce fabrics in locations with decent labour and environmental laws. I do feel confident in my current supply chain, the people working with me and our process. I love using wool because of the reduced environmental impacts of the production, low impact dyeing process, limited water consumption and a sustainability of the fiber itself.
I truly appreciate the challenge to forge forward and have a positive impact on the people around me but the planet itself. Taking a small kitchen table business to market is no easy job, and I am grateful for people that support what we do as well as my fellow makers and always look for ways improve our process make sure we are doing things the best way possible.
Machine wash wool?
Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well lets make it a reality. We have partnered with Unicorn Laundry Care products because they are the best product I have found for our wool. Find a retailer near you or in our shop.
Our wool is thick and soft and likes to hold fluid. Which means it will hold onto soap and detergent unless it is rinsed and washed well. So we highly recommend using not only very little soap, but also to rinse well.
Unicorn Beyond Soft in a natural Fabric Conditioner. It helps keeps the fibers soft and healthy.
Step 1 Dissolve 1 TBSP of Unicorn Beyond Clean in some water
Step 2 Add wool to your washing machine
Step 3 Add dissolved detergent to the dispenser
Step 4 Turn on washer to Cool setting (use wool setting or lower spin)
Do a secondary rinse cycle, aka rinse and spin with pre-dissolved Beyond Soft Conditioner.
We also recommend doing this every so often to refresh your wool between washes. It removed light soiling and neutralized salts
Wool has been used for centuries in all climates. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the heat, reducing night sweats and rashes.
Wool is a naturally breathable fiber reducing rashes and keeping baby dry.
Our in-house proprietary dyeing process not only gives us stunning colours but also pre-treats the wool making it machine washable.
We hand craft every item in our workshop. Each item is lovingly cut and sewn by our team. We appreciate your business and love doing what we do.
Wool sops up humidity and moisture and also repels it. Its called a miracle fiber by many. The lanolin helps the wool repel fluids back to the diaper, then as it becomes too much it absorbs a tremendous amount before feeling damp.
Our stuff is adorable. It really is. Come join our Flock and you can see all of the custom made items we have made over the years. Our brand is more than clothing, its about family.

These were our favorite mittens last year for an 18 month old, and we are definitely ordering more for this year. They kept my toddler’s hands toasty warm at temps in the 20s (farenheit), and with a good lano bath they were quite water resistant, too. The big cuffs made it easier to keep them on wiggly fingers, too.

I bought 2 pair of these one for myself and one for my 3.5yr old. We just had a snow storm last night and of course she wanted to play. I had planned to do a lano bath on the mittens to make them water resistant before snow play but I hadn’t gotten around to it yet. I am happy to report it wants even needed. We went sledding and ran around for a while with her sticking her whole arm in snow mounds and both or hands were warm and dry the whole time. I have never had such a good pair of gloves in my life! I have small hands for an adult so I live in limbo between small women’s and large kids sizes which means nothing ever fits except the magic mittens that are knit and not warm. These fit me like a glove. The youth large was my perfect hand size and Stephanie was amazing and so helpful through my whole process! I finally know all these winters with my kid wearing her wool pants she was in fact super warm and cozy. Now if only I had pants for myself my life would be complete!

Thank you for this fantastic feedback. So happy to work that all out with you.

We ordered mitts for our whole family and everyone loves them, there very light weight but also super warm. Great for fall days out exploring or cold winter days playing outside. They will definitely be the only kind of mitts we purchase
Lindsey Scott (verified owner) –
We love these mitts! All my kids have a pair and i never have to worry about their hands being cold, even after playing in the snow! The lining is soft and the cuff stays put, even on tiny babies. I love the fingerless option because it can be folded over to fit tiny babies and then unfolded later when they get a bit more mobile.

We love our bumby mitts because they aren’t bulky and are super soft. Also machine washable is a huge pro in our house because they get drinks spilled on them and all our knitted wool ones shrink up when we need to wash them. Also where else can you customize your mittens to suit the individual whims of our children? We love our bumby mitts!

I really like my mitts! So soft, comfy and hot, perfect for my night walks!
Also, colors are perfect.

I bought 3 pairs of these for my kids and we all couldn’t be happier. These mitts are just what I was hoping for – soft, thick, stretchy, comfy, warm! My only regret is that I did not buy a pair for myself!
Holly Caswell (verified owner) –
Purchased for my 1 yr old. They are super cute. Keep her hands nice and warm and stay on. Little hard to get them on a 1yr old since the wrist cuff is snug. But they stay put

Got all 3 boys spectrum rainbow ! This will be our 2nd year wearing them this winter season! Love them and fit fabulous

Nice trim mitt, prefect for all ages! Easy to put on and take off. Like the option of adding a string for kids mitts so they don’t lose them.

Love the thumbless baby mitts! So cozy.

I bought three pair of mittens – for my 2-year-old, 5-year-old, and 8-year-old. They work so well, and they love them! My 19-year-old got jealous, so I have an order in for her right now. My husband has been hesitant to buy any wool as he thinks he may be sensitive to wool from some sweater he wore as a child. But when he saw those mittens, he insisted that he have a pair too! 🙂

We’ve had lots of compliments on these gloves and the quality of the material/stitch is incredible! My son is just 2 and I ordered the Baby Large, but they’re very long in the hand for him still and too snug around the wrists (probably that baby chub). I’d hoped to pull them up over the jacket but instead have to put them on before the jacket which adds an extra tedious step. We live in a damp part of Ontario, so even though our temps are moderate, you get chilled to the bone and these didn’t keep my toddler’s hands as warm as I’d hoped. I lanolized them on the inside so I’m not sure if that would affect their warmth… I think we’ll probably have a better fit with them next winter. Otherwise, I love how clean looking they stay. They get muddy, the mud dries and falls right off. Beautiful gloves!

Bumby mitts are the bomb! Me and my kids all wear them during the cold months. Because wool maintains body temperature really well, even when these get a bit wet, little hands don’t get cold very quickly. My kids prefer these over waterproof puffy gloves & mittens. They can use their hands quite easily and the tall, snug cuff doesn’t left snow in, and keeps them on very well! Definitely a huge winter staple around here!
Rebecca (verified owner) –
These mitts are great for everyone. The pack easy into your pockets, easy to put on and the snow stays out!!!

Love LOVE our mitts. We have thumbless for the baby (which are perfect, they keep her toasty, but I don’t have to fight with getting a tiny thumb into a tiny hole that she doesn’t care about anyway), with a thumb plus elastic for my toddler (we have a problem with losing a single glove, elastic makes that a lot harder), and some for me (they’re my go-to hand wear for hiking, playing outside with the kids, and driving before the car warms up).

Ordered these for my son but they were big on him so I ended up stealing them for myself!! Very soft and warm, my hands have very poor circulation and get cold quickly but these mitts have been keeping them toasty warm!

These turned out beautifully, and stay dry. Like, my son tried to catch the reflection of the sun in a puddle and didn’t get wet. ???♀️

Beautiful! Very well made and so soft! We did nanoose and cozy black and they’re perfect. We chose baby large and they fit my 23 month old perfectly. We got them to match our wintersuit and chose thumb holes now that he’s older so that he can pick things up and he loves them.

I love the mittens, they fit me perfectly. They’re beautiful. The only issue I have is the seam on the inside is so bulky and it bugs me when I wear them. I’m constantly playing with them to try to adjust the seam so I dont feel it as much. This is a huge downside for me so I’d be in the fence about ordering again unless the design is fixed a bit.

Fit is spot on, colours are amazing, so warm and comfy!!! So amazing they were a go to Christmas gift this year!!
