Fastfolk Emilia & Einar Wool Mitten
A Swedish-knit, 4-layer woolen mitten for keeping your hands toasty in all kinds of weather. A removable knit string threads through the sleeves of your coat, allowing the mittens to hang from your cuffs when they're not being worn. Never lose a mitten again!
Fästfolk is a Swedish term for an engaged couple. Hearts decorate this pattern with a reindeer couple and a human couple on it - it is 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.
Fun fact: Öjbro Vantfabrik mittens are so good at keeping fingers warm that they're actually recommended by the Raynaud's Association!

Use: These mittens are made for serious cold, with a four-layer construction so warm that Öjbro marks them with their Varning Varma Vantar emblem—“Warning: Warm Mittens!” Each layer works like a mitten within a mitten, trapping insulating air for maximum warmth without extra bulk. The design is also wind resistant while still breathable, and the dense wool patterns add a touch of extra warmth.
Further Reading: Öjbro Vantfabrik is a family-run Swedish design and manufacturing company located in Ulricehamn, Västergötland, Sweden.
