Skaftö Sno Merino Wrist Warmers
£36.00
Åse Öjbro created the Skaftö pattern in these gorgeous pure merino wrist warmers on a cold winter’s day on Sweden’s West coast, inspired by the natural tones of the sea, the snowy coastal landscape, and the Bohuslän fishermen’s sweaters ~ who’s tireless work in all weathers she wanted to honour. What a beautiful marriage of Swedish lives, landscapes, and deep textile heritage they are.
Lovingly and meticulously produced in Sweden by the family-run Öjbro Vantfabrik studio, these natural fibre fingerless gloves are incredibly soft, completely itch-free, and wonderfully warm, without feeling too bulky. They’re made to last, and are a wonderful, practical companion for keeping your hands cosy ~ whether you’re crafting in your studio, pottering in the garden, or ‘gone fishing’!

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 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.
