*New! Snuggly Merino wool mittens for winter, knitted in patterns inspired by traditional Swedish motifs.

Two layer 100% Merino mittens made in Sweden by Öjbro Vantfabrik. Mittens are warmer than gloves! These gloves are knit in a double layer of 100% merino wool, giving extra warmth while retaining flexibility. Dyed in subtle natural colours and  wonderfully cosy for those chilly winter walks.

Öjbro Vantfabrik is dedicated to preserving and sharing Swedish knitting heritage. Exactly how long mittens have been knitted in Scandinavia is unclear, but there are preserved mitten fragments dating back to as early as the 13th century. Each pair of beautiful jacquard knit Öjbro mittens features a design drawn from traditional patterns and personal stories.


The Lycksele pattern is inspired by the traditional weaving technique 'Västerbotten-drällen', the striped patterns used by the Sami people, and the Öjbro family's history in the town of Lycksele. This design is also available in handwarmers, Merino sockskneehigh socksbeanie, small blanket 90x130cm, and a throw blanket 130x200cm. See below to read the Lycksele story.

Colour: Lycksele

One size: 7-9. 26cm length x 10.5cm width.

Brand: Öjbro Vantfabrik
Designed in: Sweden
Origin of Fibre: Italy
Country of manufacture: Sweden
Fabric structure: 100% Merino wool - mulesing free
100% biodegradable: Yes
Machine Washable: Yes (see our guide to washing wool)

Care: Handwash using a gentle wool shampoo recommended for best results. To machine wash, choose a cold wool cycle, skipping the spin cycle. Dry flat on a towel, gently reshaping while wet. Do not tumble dry. Wool feels comfortable and dry, even when you sweat. It can absorb a lot of moisture (up to 33% of its dry weight). Air between uses, wash only when required. 

The story of the Lycksele pattern: Designer Åse Öjbro, founder of Öjbro Vantfabrik, has created this pattern with inspiration from Sami culture and the city of Lycksele's history.

In the words of Åse Öjbro: "When creating the pattern Lycksele, I was inspired by the traditional weaving technique 'Västerbotten-drällen'. I wanted to include a Sami connection, which resulted in Sami-inspired stripes in the pattern. It's been a joy to create this pattern, especially in combination with Öjbro's family history."

Until the 1600s, there were no established townships in Southern Lapland. In 1607, King Charles IX designated the site of Öhn (present-day Gammplatsen) as a church and market place in Southern Lapland. Lycksele celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2007. Lycksele was granted town rights in 1946, becoming the first town in Lapland. The city is called "Lappstockholm" and markets itself as "the city of Lapland" to emphasize its historical role as Lapland's first city and an early, important meeting place.

The Sami are an ethnic minority originating from Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The Sami Parliament, a parliament in which Sami people have the right to vote, was recognized and established by the government in Norway in 1989, in Sweden in 1993, and in Finland in 1996.

The story of Sven Öjbro's house by Elisabet Lindgren, Lycksele:

"From "Joppe's," it wasn't a long walk to Sven Öjbro's timbered house. The house with rough logs originally came from the village of Ekorrsjö and was an inn/shooting lodge, built at the beginning of the 1900s. Here travelers, traders, fishermen, and hunters met on their journey upstream or downstream between Umeälven and Vindelälven to rest, eat, do business, or change horses.

When the obligatory markets in autumn and winter in Lycksele occurred, all the rooms of the inn were overcrowded. At the end of the 1800s, the house was timbered at this new location in Villarydsbacken and taken over by John Gustaf Johansson with his wife Berta Karolina. His wife, Berta Karolina, died in childbirth in 1901 when their only son, Sven, was born. He grew up and took the name Öjbro.

Many in Lycksele took new names at that time; locally, Öjbro means "crossing the bridge." Sven eventually inherited the house together with his wife Elma. He was a machinist at Hällforsen power station during the 1930s, and many remember his peculiar laugh — he kind of snorted gently through his nose when he laughed.

Elma, on the other hand, could be heard more widely. Not for nothing was she called "The horror of Villaryd" because of her very powerful voice, and she could be heard calling her kids far and wide, saying, "Come in and eat!"

There were often renters in the house over the years. The hospitality function of the house remained in people's memories until well into the 1950s, and many spent the night at Sven Öjbro's on market weekends. After Elma's death in 1960 and his own retirement, Sven devoted himself to self-sustainability.

For a while, he kept a pig in the stable part of the farmhouse and grew potatoes on the slope down towards the road. Sven kept a close eye on when it was time to plant potatoes in early summer. I remember how he daily took the temperature of the Earth in the potato patch. He also did woodworking in the courtyard.

Early on Saturday mornings, the people of Villaryd could wake up to the sound of the woodcutter and Sven starting up: wiiiiiii, wiiiiiiii. It was a proper wake-up call, especially if you had been out the night before!"

Sven Öjbro died in 1981, and today the house stands along Affärsgatan at Gammplatsen, now converted into a general goods store.

Super cute
Color: Bunny (Mauve), Size: Small
Super cute and fuzzy. Definitely perfect size for a puppy and not too loud. The fur is very soft and the nose is sown on not a hard piece that can be chewed on. Very good quality too.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!
