 Up
North Mittens is located in the
beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan where the
snow falls in feet rather than inches! We
average over 150" of snow per year and wool
mittens are a necessity to make it through the
long winter. I have been sewing my entire life
as my mom was an avid seamstress and she allowed
me to sew on my grandmother's treadle sewing
machine. By the time I was in Junior High, I
made all of my own clothes and especially liked
making stuffed animals. This started my love of
recycling materials to make other new and
wonderful items. All of my mittens are made from
recycled buttons and wool sweaters that contain
at least 70% wool, and I search high and low to
find them. That's half of the fun of this job!
Each pair is handmade with lots of love and my
two dogs sleeping close by in their snuggle
balls.
I hope you enjoy
your mittens and please email me and let me
know how they work for you. |
