How warm as sheepskin stroller mittens?

Sheepskin stroller mittens are very warm and an excellent choice for cold weather. Here's why:

  1. Natural Insulation: Sheepskin is a fantastic natural insulator. The wool fibres trap air, creating a layer of warmth while still allowing breathability, so your hands won't get too hot or sweaty.

  2. Moisture-Wicking: Sheepskin wool is naturally moisture-wicking, keeping your hands dry even in damp or humid conditions.

  3. Windproof Protection: The outer leather or suede of sheepskin mittens acts as a barrier against wind and cold, further enhancing their warmth.

These mittens are especially useful if you're spending extended time outdoors pushing a stroller in freezing weather. They provide warmth while allowing you to quickly slip your hands in and out as needed.

Caring for sheepskin stroller mittens is important to maintain their softness, warmth, and durability. Here are some tips:

1. Regular Maintenance

  • Shake off any bits: Regularly shake the mittens to remove dirt or debris.
  • Brush the Sheepskin: Use a soft-bristle brush or a sheepskin comb to keep the fur fluffy and remove tangles.
  • Spot Clean: If there are small stains, use a damp cloth and a mild detergent (specifically for wool or leather) to gently clean the area.

2. Cleaning

  • Avoid Machine Washing: Sheepskin is delicate and may be damaged in a washing machine. Hand washing is recommended.
  • Hand Washing:
    • Use lukewarm water (not hot) and a small amount of wool/sheepskin-specific detergent.
    • Gently submerge the mittens and rub softly to clean.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water to remove all soap.
  • Drying:
    • Never wring out sheepskin as it can deform the material. Press gently to remove excess water.
    • Allow the mittens to air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or tumble dryers, as these can cause the leather to harden or shrink.
    • While drying, reshape the mittens to maintain their form.

3. Storage

  • Store the mittens in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid storing in plastic bags, as the sheepskin needs to breathe.
