The Design

“Tweedy, cozy mitts!”

We think these handsome mitts are perfect for a foggy morning commute across Puget Sound. Or typing with the thermostat down. Or knitting out of doors! With a sweeting thumb gusset and squishy ribbing, they’re certainly up to the task of keeping your hands nice and toasty.

The Ferryboat Mitts have a robust, ruggedly handsome look in Isager Aran Tweed! This single-ply 100% wool yarn has a nice toothy touch, gentle heft, and signature tweedy flecks all along its homespun-looking strand. Strong, resilient, warm—Aran Tweed is a delight in these classic mitts!
