Fästfolk Evelina & Evald Wristwarmers

$44.95
Öjbro Vantfabrik

The Fästfolk Marin Evelina & Evald Wristwarmer is a Swedish-knit design in a traditional Nordic pattern, made from 100% organic merino wool. Its fingerless style with an open thumb offers breathable warmth and everyday utility, crafted in small batches with folk-inspired detail.

Fästfolk is a Swedish term for an engaged couple. Connected hearts decorate this pattern in a tribute to the unity of marriage.

From the designer, Åse Öjbro: 

When you love, give everything you have. And when you reach the limit, give even more, and forget how it hurts.
In the end, only the love you have given and received is counted.
Your partner has chosen to share their life with you, you give your days to each other.
I dedicate this pattern to all current and future couples.

Materials

100% merino wool
Specifications
  • size medium* 
  • length of wrist warmer from cuff to top: 6" (+/- 0.25")
  • width of wrist warmer, measured flat: 3.25" (+/- 0.25")
  • knit in Sweden

* These gloves are labelled size medium and the tags indicate that they should fit glove sizes 7-9 (hand circumferences from 7" to 9"), however, the cuff is a bit snug, so we recommend them for glove sizes between 6 and 8 (hand circumferences from 6" to 8").

To Measure Your Hand Circumference:

Wrap a tape measure around your hand at the base of the fingers, just above the thumb. Make sure the tape measure is close to your hand—not too tight but not too loose. 

Please note that there are not separate finger holes on this wrist warmer. It is knit as an open tube with a separate thumb. The top of the tube comes roughly to the base of the fingers, but this will vary depending on how short or long your hand is.
