Eksharad Rod Wool Mitten
A 4-layer wool mitten, knit in Sweden, built to keep your hands warm no matter the weather. Knit in a classic Nordic pattern, featuring white crosses on deep red, inspired by symbols rooted in Swedish history and craftsmanship.
The Ekshärad design is inspired by the distinctive iron crosses found in the cemetery of Ekshärad, Sweden. These tree-like symbols of Swedish heritage date back to the 1700s and 1800s and reflect the region’s long tradition of skilled metalwork. The iron crosses are a meaningful part of Ekshärad’s identity, telling a timeless story of artistry, history, and faith.

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.
