Lycksele Wool Mitten
A Swedish-knit, 4-layer woolen mitten for keeping your hands toasty in all kinds of weather.
The Sami people are an ethnic minority in Norway, Sweden, & Finland, where they inhabit the Lapland region, an area in the north of these Scandinavian countries. The city of Lycksele was founded in Lapland over 400 years ago and became an important settlement for the Sami. This pattern takes inspiration from the “vasterbotten drall” weave technique of the Sami people and is colored with traditional Sami colors.
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.
