Hilde's Mitten Emporium

Welcome, friend!! You have found the one and only place on the World Wide Web for real, honest, hand-knit wool mittens. Every pair is made by Grandma Hilde in her cozy little kitchen, with a cup of tea and the radio on.

NEW!! Snowflake pattern now in stock!!

★ Our Mittens ★

* All sizes available: Child, Lady, Gentleman, and "Big Hands Bob" (XL)

★ About Hilde ★

Hilde learned to knit from her own grandmother and has been making mittens for family, friends, and neighbors for over 40 years. In 1987 her grandson said "Oma, you should sell these!" and here we are. Now with a HOME PAGE!! Isn't technology wonderful?

★ Mitten Care Tips ★

• Hand-wash in cool water with a little wool soap
• NEVER put them in the dryer!! (They will shrink to doll size)
• Lay flat on a towel to dry
• Store in summer with a cedar block to keep moths away

★ How to Order ★

We do not have a fancy shopping cart yet (my grandson says "soon, Oma"). For now, please write to us by e-mail or postcard with the mitten style, size, and color you want, and we will reply with the total and shipping details. Orders usually ship within 2 weeks, because every pair is knit fresh!
