My mittens are made from up-cycled 100% wool sweaters and lined with new soft fleece. All wool is washed and "felted" in hot soapy water. Mitten making started 10 years ago as a fundraiser for Alzheimer's and I'll continue to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Alzheimer's Association of Colorado.

Mittens are also for sale at the following retail locations:

  James & Parry's at the base of Winter Park Ski Resort
​  Winter Park, Colorado

  Studio 8369 Grand Lake, Colorado
​
  Chalet Ski & Patio Madison, Wisconsin

Why I make them: my Aunt Ann was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2008. I contacted my local Alzheimer's Association chapter and they were a life saving resource. They provided educational tools and support to help me get through the complicated journey I was on. Sadly, Ann passed away from Alzheimer's in 2012. ​​The Alzheimer's Association has many wonderful educational resources, support groups, and counseling services to help you navigate this terrible disease. Please go here and read about it.

Mitten Care: Mittens may be hand washed in Woolite in cool or warm water. Dry flat.
​Occasionally an 85% wool sweater or wool blend slips into my pile; I then layer a 100% wool liner to ensure maximum warmth!
​

Sizes: I've found that height is the best indicator of what size mitten to get, trying them on is ideal but art shows are not happening.
​Most mittens as sized small/medium which fits an average women with a height of 5'2" to 5'6".
Size small/youth would fit a person up to 5'4".
Medium is women approximately 5'5' to 5'8. Large for women over 6' tall.
I am 5"4" and would wear all the size small/medium mittens.
​ Each mitten has a different amount of stretch, some cuffs are tighter, etc. Please email me and I'm happy to discuss sizing so you are happy with your purchase.
