These beautiful and versatile winter wristies perfectly marry slow-living folk-inspired style with utility. Leaving your fingers free to do what they need to do, they provide warmth and insulation right at the pulse points, with the merino doing the job it’s so naturally good at ~ regulating your temperature whatever the time of year, and even on damp days.
The Öjbro Vantfabrik collection is produced in small, intentional batches by Åse ~ designer of patterns ~ and her husband Ted. They produce mainly in their homeland of Sweden, but also collaborate with small family-owned factories & co-operatives in Finland. Dedicated to keeping traditional patterns and colours alive, their team creates knitwear that is as pure, natural and durable as possible ~ designed to endure a lifetime of everyday wear, doing everyday things.
SIZE & FIT
Öjbro’s wrist warmers come in a number of different styles, each varying in length and fit. They’re designed for all genders, but of course how they feel and fit will be different from person to person, depending on the shape and size of your hand. After just a few wears, the inherent natural stretch of the merino will gently mould to your hand shape for a uniquely you-sized fit.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Care: Regularly shake out to remove any dust. To spot clean small marks, use a damp cloth and gently dab the area. If you see signs of pilling ~ which sometimes happens as the natural fibres are exposed to everyday friction ~ gently remove them by hand, or use a metal fabric comb. Öjbro strongly believes in making products that are durable enough to be worth repairing if they do develop a small hole or sustain some damage ~ so they also sell repair kits, which you can find out more about here.
- Washing: Machine wash at no more than 30°, in a half-load. Choose a low spin, or skip it altogether! We recommend a liquid detergent ~ even better if it’s specifically for wool.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out any excess water, and reshape, before laying flat to dry.
- Things to avoid: Do not tumble dry. Do not wring. Do not iron. Do not bleach.
